Fig. 4From: Enhanced pyruvate metabolism in plastids by overexpression of putative plastidial pyruvate transporter in Phaeodactylum tricornutumGrowth and biomass production of the WT and transgenic strains. a Growth curves of the wild-type (WT) and PtPTP overexpression strains (PtPTP-OE1, PtPTP-OE2). Each curve shows the mean ± SD from three independent replicates. b Biomass production measured by calculating dry cell weight at days 3, 5, and 7 days of subculture. Error bars represent mean values from three independent experiments. Statistically significant differences were determined by Student’s t test (**p < 0.01, *p < 0.05)Back to article page
