Analysis of oil droplets in microalgae.

Abstract excerpt

Microalgae are diverse groups of eukaryotic organisms capable of efficiently converting sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis with carbohydrates and oils as major storage products. Like other eukaryotes, microalgae store oils in dynamic subcellular organelles named oil droplets. In this chapter, we present a detailed description of basic procedures that can be followed for the isolation of mutants...
