Fig. 4From: Online flow cytometry, an interesting investigation process for monitoring lipid accumulation, dimorphism, and cells’ growth in the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica JMY 775Cell dimorphism reviled by online flow cytometry and optic microscopy. a Cell dimorphism occurring during a culture of Y. lipolytica JMY 775 in bioreactor and detected with online flow cytometric process. After gating two sub-populations, different morphologies can be distinguished, i.e., a1 elongated shape cell sub-population, a2 both morphotypes can co-exist in the same culture, and a3 single-cell shape sub-population. Analyses have been carried out with online FC and results were displayed on Forward Scatter Air/Forward Scatter Height (FSC-A/FSC-H) dot-plot on the basis of 40,000 events. b Optic microscopy images (40×), corresponding to samples of the panel “a”Back to article page
