Characterization of transgenic C. ellipsoidea expressing GmDof4 under mixotrophic culture conditions. (A) The growth curves of transgenic GmDof4 Chlorella ellipsoidea under mixotrophic culture conditions for eight days. (B) Growth rate of transgenic GmDof4 strains compared with the control under mixotrophic culture conditions. (C) Total contents of the soluble protein, carbohydrate, and lipid of transgenic GmDof4 Chlorella ellipsoidea under mixotrophic culture conditions. The data represent the means ± SD of three replicate experiments and were analyzed by Student’s t-test (n = 3). Asterisks indicate a significant difference from pCK transgenic strains (**P <0.01). (D) The fatty acid content and composition in transgenic GmDof4 Chlorella ellipsoidea. The data represent the means ± SD of three replicate experiments and were analyzed by Student’s t-test (n = 3). *P <0.05; **P <0.01. CK, pCK transgenic strains; DW, dry weight; WT, wild-type Chlorella ellipsoidea.
