Table 2. TAGs and CEs accumulation in Symbiodinium cells.

Lipid concentrations Purified symbiotic Symbiodinium cells
(pg/cell)   Days of nitrogen-deprivation
  Normal Day 5 Day 30
TAGs 4.4 ± 0.09c 7.87 ± 0.13b 21.77 ± 0.08a
CEs 1.16 ± 0.10c 3.32 ± 0.11b 5.36 ± 0.15a

Lipid contents of purified symbiotic Symbiodinium in the normal and nitrogen-deprivation treatments were analyzed by TLC. Data are presented as mean ± SD (N = 3). Superscript a–c denote statistical significance within control and nitrogen-deprivation treatments (P<0.001).
