Figure 2

Relative abundances of different β-carotene lifetimes in ergosterol:SDS micelles.Note: Relative abundances were derived as relative amplitudes. Abundances of 3.2 ns and 356 ns lifetimes are very low and, thus, they are overlapping in the graph.

Figure 6

Cystofilobasidium capitatum cell half an hour after inoculation to solid media in flow cell.Note: False-colour representation used: red – Carotenoids I, green – NADP(H), blue – Carotenoids II. Cells were inoculated from late stationary phase when preserved on malt agar media at 4 °C. Cytosolic membrane appeared to be stacked with carotenoids as well as lipid bodies inside the cell.

Cystofilobasidium capitatum cells during growth on agar.Note: False-colour representation used: red – Carotenoids I, green – NADP(H), blue – Carotenoids II. Top line from the left: approximately 4, 5.5, 7.5 and 11.5 hours after inoculation; bottom line from the left: 24, 33, 49 and 56 hours after inoculation. At 4, 5.5 and 7.5 hours, when in exponential phase, it can be seen that Carotenoids I (membrane form) is decreasing.

Figure 8

Cystofilobasidium capitatum cells during fermentation in 2l laboratory fermentor.Note: In liquid media the cells show different patterns during time. In the upper part row intensity based preliminary lifetime images are illustrated, while row FLIM images with falsecolour representation (as mentioned above) are at the bottom. In exponential phase Carotenoid I lifetime seems to be disappeared, while in early stationary phase this membrane form is concentrated in endoplasmic reticle. In the stationary phase this form is present both in endoplasmic reticle and cytosolic membrane (yellow arrow).
