BODPIPY and AC-202 stainings of lipid droplets in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells in the presence of a TOR inhibitor. a Brightfield images of cells treated with DMSO (top) or a TOR inhibitor (AZD8055, bottom) after 48Ā h. b Fluorescence microscope images of cells treated with DMSO (top) or a TOR inhibitor (AZD8055, bottom) for 48Ā h and co-stained with BODIPY and AC-202. Single fluorescence channels and BODIPYā€‰+ā€‰AC-202 fluorescence (Merge) are shown. c Normalized fluorescence profile plot of the AZD8055-treated cell in (b) showing the co-localization of BODIPY and AC-202 fluorescence. The x-axis represents the horizontal distance across the cell, and the y-axis the vertically averaged pixel intensity across the cell. d, e Total corrected cellular fluorescence was calculated for each fluorophore from cells grown under control (DMSO) or TOR inhibition conditions (AZD8055) after 24Ā h (d) and 48Ā h (e). Values are relative to the control condition (DMSO). Averages shown,ā€‰Ā±ā€‰SE; **Pā€‰<ā€‰0.001, ***Pā€‰<ā€‰0.001, Students t-test, nā€‰=ā€‰30; Scale bar, 5Ā ĀµM
