Dynamic Interactions between Autophagosomes and Lipid Droplets in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic process in eukaryotic cells by which waste cellular components are recycled to maintain growth in both favorable and stress conditions. Autophagy has been linked to lipid metabolism in microalgae; however, the mechanism underlying this interaction remains un...
