	Chl a(μg/g)*	PC(mg/g)*	PE(mg/g)*	APC(mg/g)*	PBP(mg/g)*
Healthy	45.6 ± 6.8	0.22 ± 0.01	0.13 ± 0.01	0.33 ± 0.02	0.68 ± 0.04
Infected	71.3 ± 1.9	0.45 ± 0.03	0.32 ± 0.03	0.79 ± 0.07	1.57 ± 0.13
RV	1.564	2.045	2.462	2.394	2.309

Values present mean ± SE of four replicates, *indicates significant differences at 𝑃<0.05 between the healthy and infected K. alvarezii, RV indicates the relative value of infected sample to the healthy sample.
