The total FAME content as percentage dry cell weight was21.7%, 20.1%, and 23.6% with florescence light, white LEDs and
red LEDs, while the FAME content as percentage of the total lipid was 32.1%, 31.5%, and 35.4%, respectively (Table 1). Under the initial light intensity of 100, 200 and 350 lE/(m2 s), there was no significant difference in FAME content based on dry cell weight (19.9– 23.4%, Table 2). The FAME content showed no differences with various light sources and light intensities. However, there was a slight increase in biomass productivity with increasing light intensity. The GC-MS analysis demonstrates that the FAME from D. tertiolecta mainly contains the carbon chain lengths from C16 to C18 saturated and unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and D. tertiolecta could be considered as a potential organism for biodiesel
production.
