Question

What is the major lipid component of chlorophycean microalgae?

Answer 1

I have read in some article for biodiesel production that some microalgae synthesize and accumulate substantial amounts of neutral lipids, mainly as triacylglycerol (TAG) (Bigogno et al., 2002; Hu et al., 2008; Gardner et al., 2010; Damiani et al., 2010). so this would be the component found in the chlorophycean microalgae too.
