The weight fraction carbon and reductance degree of algae are reviewed for literature data. Average values are compared with values for yeast and bacteria. The results show that the standard deviation and coefficient of variation are small as long as the algae are grown under adequate nutritional conditions. For nitrogen‐deficient growth conditions, the storage of lipids has been observed; this results in values of weight fraction carbon and reductance degree which are larger than the average values.
