| Method |
Transmission electron microscopy. TEM analysis was carried
out by applying two methods: superimposition of an array of
short lines (Freere and Weibel 1967) and ImagePro1 analysis
(Fisher et al. 1998). Cell volume of the HL- and
LL- acclimated cells was calculated from their diameters, measured
with a light microscope. |
| Comments |
High-light cultures were
grown under 650 mmol quanta×m^-2×s^-1 (HL). The value for cultures moved to low light (30 mmol quanta×m^-2×s^-1) increased to 57±4.5%. Nannochloropsis are unicellular, free-floating microalga that belong to Eustigmatophyceae,
a group lacking any chlorophylls other
than chlorophyll a (chl a) |
