The relative concentrations (% of total lipid content) of fatty acids, squalene and ergosterol, unsaturated (UFA) to saturated (SFA) fatty acid ratio, and average fatty acid (FA) chain length in the lipids extracted from cells in late exponential phase during the growth assays. Values are means from three independent cultivations. Values in the same group in the same column with different superscript letters (a–g) differ significantly (p < 0.05 as determined with one-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post hoc test). The heatmap was generated based on the z-scores (a blue color indicates a negative z-score and lower concentration, while a red color indicates a positive z-score and a higher concentration)
