Fig. 1From: Activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase is not directly linked to accumulation of lipids when Chlorella vulgaris is co-immobilised with Azospirillum brasilense in alginate under autotrophic and heterotrophic conditionsTotal lipid contents in Chlorella vulgaris (UTEX 2714) immobilised alone and combined with Azospirillum brasilense Cd (DSM 1843) under autotrophic and heterotrophic conditions and after incubation for 6 days and initial supply of 90 mg NH4 + L−1. a Total lipids per culture (mg g dw beads−1); b total lipids per cell. c and d are the same situations under ammonium starvation. Statistics was done separately for each subfigure. Columns denoted by a different lowercase letter for autotrophic versus heterotrophic conditions for immobilisation alone and co-immobilisation, which differ significantly at p < 0.05 using Student’s t test. Columns denoted by a different uppercase letter differ significantly by one-way ANOVA and LSD post hoc analysis at p < 0.05. Bars SE. A missing bar (in subfigures c and d) signifies negligible SE.
