Extended Data Fig. 4: Nonpolar lipid accumulation in A. borkumensis ΔgglsA and ΔgglsB mutant cells.
From: Biosurfactant biosynthesis by Alcanivorax borkumensis and its role in oil biodegradation
Cells were grown in pyruvate or hexadecane medium. Lipid extracts equivalent to the same amount of total lipids (measured by gas chromatography of fatty acid methyl esters) were separated by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and stained with iodine vapor. Storage lipids were identified by co-migration with standards or by isolation and mass spectrometry. TAG, triacylglycerol; WE, wax ester.
