Sorted cells were able to grow on 96-well plates containing solid agar growth medium. After a 2-week incubation period, sorting a single event resulted in an axenic microalgal colony (A). The growth of several microalgal colonies obtained from more than one sorted event is shown in panels (B), (C) and (D). However, unlike in (A), these wells contained contaminating bacteria as well (brightfield images, scale bar = 50 mm).
