Figure 5. Impact of SE and TAG synthesis and degradation on FFA homeostasis.

Displayed are the total FFA in YB526 cells and YB526 cells additionally deficient for enzymes of SE and TAG synthesis and degradation. Cells were grown to late stationary phase (136 h) in YPR media. Mean values of at least three independent experiments. Error bars correspond to standard deviation. Asterisks indicate significantly different values between the reference strain YB526 and the individual mutant strain (P≤0.05).
