Age-related changes in neutral lipid content of Paramecium primaurelia as revealed by nile red.

Cellular neutral lipid content of Paramecium primaurelia was measured during culture and clonal life using nile red (9-diethylamino-5H-benzo[alpha] phenoxazine-5-one), a dye utilized for lipid analysis in both mammalian cells and in ciliated protozoa. Lipid droplets in P. primaurelia are concentrate...
