Cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, typically contain between 5% and 20% lipids of their dry cell weight under normal growth conditions, a range generally lower than many eukaryotic microalgae. However, their potential as a lipid source is significant due to high growth rates and simpler cellular structures.
