Nitrate Reductase Inhibition Induces Lipid Enhancement of Dunaliella Tertiolecta for Biodiesel Production

Table 1

Fatty acid methyl ester (FAMEs) profile of D. tertiolecta analyzed by GC-MS at the 15th day. Sodium tungstate (10 mM) was added to the cultures at the beginning of culture one-stage treatment. PUFA: polyunsaturated fatty acids; SFA: saturated fatty acids; UFA: unsaturated fatty acids.
