Abstract
Provided is a method for producing ahighly containing a wax ester, comprising aerobically culturing a microalgaby photosynthesis using carbon dioxide as a carbon source, then further culturing the microalgaunder nitrogen-starvation conditions to increase paramylon accumulation per cell, and subsequently putting the microalgaunder anaerobic conditions, so that ahighly containing a wax ester can be produced; and a method for producing a wax ester. The present invention relates to a method for producing ahighly containing a wax ester. The method comprises a first step of aerobically culturing a microalga, a second step of further culturing a medium under nitrogen-starvation conditions, and a third step of retaining the cells under anaerobic conditions.
