Delivery efficiency of RNP and Cytotoxicity of Cas9 and ribonucleoprotein. (a) The cellular uptake efficiency of Cy3-RNP into wild-type C. reinhardtii measured by a flow cytometer according to the concentration of pVEC. The ratio of the quantum yield of wild-type C. reinhardtii according to the concentration of pVEC. After incubation of samples for one hour under dark as a dark adaptation, quantum yield was measured by AquaPen-C APA100. The ratio of the quantum yield was calculated by dividing the QY of the experimental group by the QY of the control group. The data represent the average of n = 3 replicate experiments. Standard deviation bars are shown. **Significantly different (Student’s t-test, p < 0.05). *Significantly not different (Student’s t-test, p > 0.05). (b) The recovery of algal cell on agar plate after treatment. Relative protein amount 1 represents 10ug of protein (Cas9 and alcohol dehydrogenase). 600 cells were spread and counted. The final concentration of pVEC for delivery of protein was 8uM. **Significantly different (Student’s t-test, p < 0.05). (c) The quantum yield for algal cell depends on time. Relative amount 1 of protein was used. The quantum yield was measured by AquaPen-C APA100. The data represent the average of n = 3 replicate experiments. Standard deviation bars are not shown for legibility.
