Figure 6. Accumulation of oil.

Figure 6

(A) TAG accumulation over time shown as fatty acids esterified to TAG (TAG FA) over total fatty acids (FAtotal) following nitrogen deprivation, and (B) characteristic changes in the fatty acid profile. Fatty acids are designated based on number of carbon atoms: number of double bonds. The accumulation of TAG and the formation of lipid droplets can be observed in ultra-structural changes following nitrogen starvation (C, N-replete; D, N-depleted).
