Stressed <i>Chlamydomonas reinhardtii</i> Cells Producing Lipids

Caption

This image is of algal cells of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii grown under nitrogen starvation conditions to produce lipids. The red is the autofluorescence from the chlorophyll of the cells while the green indicates the lipid bodies following lipid staining with Lipidtox Green. This image accompanies a news release regarding a study from a team led by scientists from the US Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI) in the August 2015 issue of the journal Nature Plants.
