Measuring metabolites in algae one cell at a time
A new microscopy system can visualize the production of metabolites in living cells. Fluorogenic aptamers that fluoresce when bound to metabolites were inserted into algae cells by femtosecond laser photoporation and observed by fluorescence microscopy. The new system is expected to contribute to the metabolic engineering of environmentally friendly biofuels, pharmaceutical and other products.
