Lipid characterization of Lig 290. Lipid were extracted and derivatized to fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and characterized via gas chromatography. The FAME speciesare consistent with a desirable biodiesel profile, categorized as C16 (C16:0–2), C18(C18:0–2), and C20 (which were not present). Omega-3′s contain C16 or C18 species. All other FAMEs were classified as non-biodiesel. Results presented are mean values (n = 3) and error bars are the standard error of the mean.
