Desiccation tolerance correlate with lipid droplets. a Confocal microscopy images of BODIPY stained cells growing in YPD medium for 3 days prior to desiccation. b Quantification of LD numbers from the confocal microscopy images of prior to desiccation (red) and 14 days after desiccation (blue). c Cell survival rate after 14 days of desiccation. *: p < 0.05, **: p < 0.01, ns: not statistically significant. Cerulenin: 4 μg/ml was added into the culture medium prior to the 3-day culture. Data in (b) and (c) were presented as mean ± SD (represented by error bars) from 3 independent experiments. d pah1Δ cells growing in YPD medium for 3 days, then dried for 14 days, showing the lipid droplet structure. e nem1Δ cells growing in YPD medium for 3 days, then dried for 14 days, showing the lipid droplet structure.
