Figure 8.

Peroxisomal mutants cause fatty acid accumulation in lipid bodies. Lipid bodies were purified from the indicated strains and subjected to thin layer chromatography. (A) Spots were visualized and quantified after charring, and the ratio of free fatty acids to triacylglycerols are plotted. (B) Free fatty acid amounts were quantified by densitometric scanning relative to free oleic acid standards and were normalized to total lipid body protein. Results shown were based on three independent experiments. Means and SEM (error bars) are plotted.
