Growth phenotype of the C. reinhardtii wt CC-4533 and the flv 208 mutant cultures under different light illumination protocols. The aerobic (ambient air) and anaerobic (purged with Ar before the illumination) growth was monitored after 7 days of treatment under 1/9 and 6/9 pulse illumination protocols, fluctuating light protocol (20 µmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹ background light with 30 s 200 µmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹ illumination every 5 min, FL 20/200) and constant 20 µmol photons m⁻² s⁻¹ (CL) illumination with or without the addition of 3% CO₂ to the headspace. Shown are examples for three independent replicates
