Peak values and calculations. Peak values and calculations on algal density, lipid content and lipid productivity in 12 day batch cultures. Nearly threefold differences among species were observed in growth between the high and low N stress treatments. Lipid content increased over baseline levels up to 377% and as little as 222% with high N stress. Even with low N stress, lipid increased from 46% to 302%. Lipid productivities reflect the independent effects of N supply on growth and lipid content on each species. To convert
‘‘per L’’ to ‘‘per m2
,’’ multiply by 22.5 L m2
