Similar growth rates were observed for 2%, 4%, and
6% CO2-concentrations. The different light sources and intensities were found to have no significant effect
on FAME composition of D. tertiolecta. Methyl linolenate and methyl palmitate were found to be the
major components of FAME produced from D. tertiolecta oil. D. tertiolecta and its derived oils should be
a suitable feedstock for biofuel production.
