Figure 1

Detection of neutral lipid accumulation in cw15 , a common laboratory strain of C. reinhardtii using Nile red staining. The yellow fluorescence observed in the presence of Nile red indicates the presence of neutral lipids while the red fluorescence corresponds to chlorophyll autofluorescence. TAP: standard growth medium. TAP-N: nitrogen-depleted TAP medium. Bars = 8 μm.
