Mean lipid levels under nutrient-rich and nitrogen-deficient culture conditions are 22% and 36% for freshwater species and 24% and 28% for marine species, respectively.
“For example, mean lipid levels under nutrient-rich, nitrogen-deficient culture conditions are 22% and 36% for freshwater species and 24% and 28% for marine species, respectively [91].”

Existing differences between marine and freshwater species in lipid-producing ability under nitrogen deprivation are often noted.
“When studying the lipid-producing ability of microalgae under conditions of nitrogen deprivation, the existing differences between marine and freshwater species are often noted [91, 103].”

For microalgae of other taxonomic groups, pronounced patterns of lipid content response to nitrogen deficiency were not identified, indicating different responses.
“For microalgae of other taxonomic groups (Cyanobacteria, Dinophyta, Haptophyta, Heterokontophyta/Ochrophyta, Chlorophyta, Euglenoza), the authors failed to identify such pronounced patterns, and the conclusion was made about their different response to nitrogen deficiency in the cultivation medium.”
From Nitrogen and phosphorus stress as a tool to induce lipid production in microalgae (2023) · cites this paper as [91]
Among cyanobacteria, an increase in lipid content with lack of nitrogen was observed only in Oscillatoria.
“For example, among cyanobacteria, an increase in the content of lipids with a lack of nitrogen was observed only in Oscillatoria.”
From Nitrogen and phosphorus stress as a tool to induce lipid production in microalgae (2023) · cites this paper as [91]
According to Griffiths & Harrison, the pattern of increased lipid content under nitrogen restriction is not unambiguous; some species show an increase, some a decrease or no change.
“However, according to Griffiths & Harrison [91], this pattern is not unambiguous in many cases. Some species show an increase in lipid content during nitrogen deprivation, and some offer a decrease or no change.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
