Quantitative and qualitative variation of the fatty acid composition in the dinoflagellate Crypthecodinium cohnii under nitrogen starvation conditions

Crypthecodinium cohnii is a heterotrophic dinoflagellate that can achieve a lipid content greater than 20% on dry weight. DHA can represent up to 40% of the total fatty acids. Our objective was to investigate the variation in fatty acid content when growth conditions are optimal compared with when t...
