Fatty acid profiling of triacylglycerol (TAG) and total lipid in Mortierella fungi, N. oceanica, and algae–fungi aggregates after 6-day co-cultivation. a Fatty acid assays of triacylglycerol and total lipid in log-phase N. oceanica grown in shaker flask containing f/2 medium. Fatty acids are indicated with number of carbons: number of double bonds. Results are the average of five biological replicates with error bars indicating standard deviations (n = 5). b Fatty acid assays of M. elongata AG77 incubated in f/2 medium. Fungal mycelium was collected from PDB medium and then washed and added to f/2 medium and incubated for 6 days. n = 5. c Fatty acids of the algae–fungi aggregates after 6-day co-cultivation in flasks containing f/2 medium. n = 5
