Fig 3. The chlorophyll contents of D. salina cells during nutrient deprivation.
Changes in the total chlorophyll (A), chlorophyll a (B) and chlorophyll b (C) contents were measured during nutrient deprivation. The ratio of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b (D) during nutrient deprivation was used to reflect changes in the status of the cells. Complete medium (CM), Nitrogen deprivation (-N), Phosphorous deprivation (-P), Sulfur deprivation (-S), Nitrogen and phosphorous deprivation (-N-P), Nitrogen and sulfur deprivation (-N-S), Phosphorous and sulfur deprivation (-P-S), Nitrogen, phosphorous and sulfur deprivation (-N-P-S). The presented data are the averages ± SE of three replicates.
