Detection of neutral lipid in the transformants using Nile red staining. a Relative Nile red fluorescence of transformants AR-DGAT2, B2-DGAT2 and wild type during N-starvation growth condition I. All transformants were found to reach maximum Nile red fluorescence earlier than wild type. Each value represents mean ± SD (n = 3). b Lipid bodies in transformant AR-DGAT2-40 and wild type (at indicated time point) visualized under a bright field microscope (left panel) and fluorescence microscope (right panel). Intense golden-color lipid bodies observed in transformant AR-DGAT2-40, light golden-color lipid bodies in wild type
