From: Enhancing oil production and harvest by combining the marine alga Nannochloropsis oceanica and the oleaginous fungus Mortierella elongata

Fig. 3

Mortierella fungi have more oil droplets than N. oceanica in f/2 medium. a–d Confocal micrographs showing lipid droplets in the fungal mycelium grown in flasks containing PDB medium. Green fluorescence indicates lipid droplets stained with BODIPY. e Lipid droplets in log-phase N. oceanica (Noc) cells grown in flasks containing f/2 medium. Red, autofluorescence of Noc chloroplast. f–i Lipid droplets in the algal and fungal cells after 6-day co-cultivation in f/2 medium. Fungal mycelium was added to the log-phase Noc culture for 6-day co-culture in flasks. AG77, M. elongata AG77; NVP64, M. elongata NVP64; GBAus22, M. gamsii GBAus22; 3668S, Morchella americana 3668S
