The fungus was inoculated 5 days before to start the experiment, for this, a thin layer of 250 lL of microalgae lipid was previously spread over the solid culture media inside each Petri dish; then a portion of 1 cm diameter of R. oryzae inoculums was cut and put into the bioreactor in sterile conditions. Once the Petri dish was completely colonized, additional 250 lL of microalgae lipids were distributed over the mycelia.
