Observation of LDs in engineered E. coli cells. Cells were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) (a) and N-SIM super-resolution microscope (b). The engineered strain 2119 carrying pACYCDuet::RcFatB cultured in ZYP-5052 auto-induction medium at 37 °C with shaking at 200 rpm for 12, 24, 36 or 48 h. LDs were stained with Nile Red before observing by N-SIM. The scale bar is 1 µm for TEM and 4 µm for N-SIM
