From: Low UV-C stress modulates Chlamydomonas reinhardtii biomass composition and oxidative stress response through proteomic and metabolomic changes involving novel signalers and effectors

Fig. 3

Box plot graphs showing the reshaping of the Chlamydomonas metabolome after UV-C irradiation. Metabolites related to central carbon and nitrogen metabolism (malic acid, citric acid, Ser, Glu) fall from previous high levels 5 h after UV-C irradiation (a). Also 5 h after stress imposition phenolics (4-hydroxybenzoic acid), glycerol and arabinose accumulated (b), while different sugars and flavonoids (catechin) accumulated at t 24 h (c). Only variables with significative changes (ANOVA p < 0.05) were plotted. Different letters indicate significant differences (Tukey HSD; p < 0.05)
