Nagarkar et al. (2004) reported chemical composition and calorific values of 13 cyanobacteria species; calorific values varied between 15-33 kJ 10 g−1 dw, with Spirulina and Phormidium responsible for higher values, and high calorific values correlated with high protein content.
“Nagarkar et al. (2004) reported on the chemical composition and their respective calorific values of 13 cyanobacteria species (they did not report on the lipid content). They found that the calorific values varied between 15–33 kJ 10 g−1 dw with Spirulina and Phormidium responsible for the higher values. They could also correlate the high calorific values with high protein content.”

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.
