Fig. 3: Physiological profiles of mobile and non-mobile H. pluvialis phenotypes.

a Chlorophyll fluorescence parameter Fv/Fm. b Cellular chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids content. c Cell dry weight, lipid and starch content. d The ratio of cellular lipid and starch to dry weight. The graphs show the mean ± standard deviation of the triplicate values. Asterisks represent statistical significance calculated by two-tailed Welch’s t test. Mobile cells (light green), non-mobile cells (dark green). Significance: *(p < 0.05), **(p < 0.01), ***(p < 0.001), ****(p < 0.0001). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
