Figure 6From: Regulation of the cholesterol biosynthetic pathway and its integration with fatty acid biosynthesis in the oleaginous microalga Nannochloropsis oceanicaFeedback regulation of sterol biosynthesis at the point of DXS gene. (A) Transcript levels of DXS and PSY genes of N. oceanica induced by CLO (20 mg l-1). (B) Transcript levels of DXS and PSY genes in N. oceanica induced by TBF (2.5 mg l-1). (C) Transcript levels of DXS and PSY genes relative to actin gene (g3056) in response to cholesterol treatment (1.1 mg l-1). Samples cultured with DMSO are set as mock controls. Values are normalized to 1. Asterisks (*) indicate P values < 0.05.Back to article page
