Summary
An optimum initial molar C/N ratio of about 77 was found for maximum lipid production from glucose or fructose with a nitrogen source from either (NH4)2SO4, NH4NO3 or urea. The fatty acid composition of the lipids was affected by the initial C/N ratio and by the type of sugar but not significantly by the type of nitrogen.
