Culturing parameters for each James Cook University/MBD Energy (JCU/MBD) microalgae.
Fig 1.
Principal component analysis (PCA) depicting extent of differences in biochemical parameters between James Cook University/MBD Energy (JCU/MBD) microalgae (Nannochloropsis sp., Dunaliella sp., Scenedesmus sp., and the CPC) and commercial microalgae products, which are indicated by the length of radiating lines.
Biochemical parameters corresponding to the radiating lines pointing towards species indicate parameters of similarity, while opposite radiating lines indicate dissimilarity.
