A Fast and Simple Qualitative Method for Screening Oleaginous Yeasts on Agar

Figure 4

Qualitative response levels of the screening method for oleaginous yeasts. A close-up of single colonies is shown. The levels are defined as follows: GLP, good lipid producer; MLP, moderate lipid producer; PLP, poor lipid producer; and NO, non-oleaginous. The lipid percentage is presented as % of lipids, and the data are presented as the means and standard deviations from triplicate samples.
