Figure 4

Improved TAG productivity by CmGPAT1 overexpression. (a) Sequential growth of the GPc and GP1 strains. The growth of both strains under normal growth conditions was monitored by OD750. Arrows indicate the sampling times for the TAG measurements shown in panels b and c. (b,c) TAG productivity in the GP1 strain. The TAG contents in GPc and GP1 were measured at the mid-exponential, late-exponential, and after-exponential phases, and are shown using two different indexes, percentage of dry weight (b) and mg/L/Day (c). Other details are the same as in Fig. 3.
