Figure 2

Growth curves and biomass productivity of WT, npq4 and npq4 lhcsr1 mutants.

Panels (a,c,e,g,i) growth curves of WT (black), npq4 (red) and npq4 lhcsr1 (blue) strains obtained by measuring the optical density (O.D.) at 730?nm. Growth curves were fitted with a sigmoidal curve (yellow dotted lines). Each panel reports the mean value and standard deviation of 5 independent measurements (n?=?5). Panels (b,d,f,h,j) examples of first derivate of the sigmoidal curves obtained by fitting different growth curves. Maxima values of the first derivate curves can be used to approximate the maximum productivity during the growth of the different strains (Supplementary Table S1).
