Final biomass mass concentrations after three days of growth; Strains were grown in shake flasks containing 30 ml medium of a C/N ratio of 75 at 30°. After 72 h of growth the biomass concentrations were determined. Strains are ordered in increasing amounts of biomass concentration. When multiple variants of strains are used the number between brackets refers to the position of the strain variant in Table 1. Five promising fatty acid producing strains are indicated with a circle
