Lipids in the wild type (WT), Pt2015 knockout strain (2015KO), and the Pt2015 overexpression (oeT) strains. A Localization of lipid bodies in the WT, 2015KO, and oeT strains after staining with BODIPY 505/515. Bright-field micrographs, plastid autofluorescence, BODIPY 505/515 images, and a combination of BODIPY 505/515 images (merged) with plastid autofluorescence are shown. All images are shown at the same scale. The scale bar is 5 μm. B Total lipid content of WT, 2015KO, and oeT strains using gravimetric means. Different letters represent significant differences of total lipid content in the WT, 2015KO, and oeT strains. C Growth curves of WT, 2015KO, and oeT strains at 20 °C under 80 μmol photons m−2 s−1
