From: Production of ricinoleic acid-containing monoestolide triacylglycerides in an oleaginous diatom, Chaetoceros gracilis

Figure 5

Dose-dependent effect of supplied exogenous ricinoleic acid on growth of diatom cells.

(a) Growth curve of the wild-type line supplemented with ricinoleic acid (RA) methyl ester (RAME) or oleic acid methyl ester (OAME) in the culture medium, respectively. (b) Change in RA amount integrated into glycerolipids in WT cells supplemented with 1.2 μg/ml RAME. Mock, addition of solvent (ethanol) as control. MAG, monoacylglycerol; PLs, polar lipids; ME TAG, monoestolide triacylglycerol.
