It means that it is 5 mg / L or less.
 本発明の油脂蓄積誘導培地は、炭素源となる糖類を含む。前記糖類としては、例えば、グルコース、スクロース、ソルビトール、ガラクトース、ラフィノース、フルクトース、キシロース、トレハロース、マルトース、ラクトースなどを挙げることができ、これらの糖類から選んだ1種を、あるいは、2種以上を組合わせて、用いることができる。本発明の油脂蓄積誘導培地に含まれる糖類の含有量(2種以上を用いる場合はそれらの総量)は、下限値として、或る態様では0.03%(=0.3g/L)、或る態様では0.05%、或る態様では0.1%、或る態様では0.3%、或る態様では0.5%、或る態様では1%、或る態様では3%、上限値として、或る態様として15%、或る態様として10%、或る態様として5%、或る態様では3%、或る態様では1%、或る態様では0.5%である。なお、前記の下限と上限は、所望により、任意に組み合わせることができる。 The oil / fat accumulation induction medium of the present invention contains saccharides as a carbon source.
