Popis: The present work established an efficient staining method for fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) with Chlorococcum littorale maintaining cellular viability. The method was designed to detect high-lipid cells and to guarantee cellular viability. BODIPY505/515 (BP) was more suitable to FACS when compared to Nile red. The optimum concentrations were 0.4 μg ml−1 of BP, 0.1% DMSO or 0.35% ethanol. Both ethanol and DMSO were equally efficient and assured cellular viability after the staining and sorting. Here a method is presented to rapidly screen and sort lipid rich cells of C. littorale with FACS, which can be used to produce new inoculum with increased cellular lipid content.
