| Purpose: | The aim of this set of experiments was to optimize the C11-BODIPY581/591 staining conditions and to explore the capability of the dye to stain Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells under various cell and dye concentrations and different staining procedures. | ||||
| Conclusion: | The dye resulted to be applicable to a wide range of staining procedures thanks to its high stability inside the cellular membrane and its specificity of reaction with oxyl-radicals, moreover its low interference with cell autofluorescence makes it a reliable dye for algal staining. | ||||
