Supplementary Figure 3: Procedure for preparing an E. gracilis sample.
From: High-throughput imaging flow cytometry by optofluidic time-stretch microscopy

(I) Stock culture of E. gracilis NIES-48 in the plant growth chamber. (II) Inoculate the stock cells of E. gracilis to fresh AF-6. (III) To prepare fresh E. gracilis cells, inoculate 3 × 104 cells to fresh AF-6. (IV) To prepare lipid-accumulated E. gracilis cells, collect cells using a centrifuge, and then replace the culture medium with AF-6‒N (nitrogen nutrient omitted from AF-6) for rinsing. After rinsing, collect and resuspend cells in fresh AF-6‒N. All the cultures are incubated in the same conditions except for the culture media and cell density.
