From: Tuning heterologous glucan biosynthesis in yeast to understand and exploit plant starch diversity
Chain-length distributions (CLDs) of glucans and their wavelengths of maximum absorption after iodine complexion (λmax; gray boxes). CLDs from plant starches are included for comparison. λmax values were not acquired from these mutant plant starches as their amylose component would have masked the absorption spectra of the amylopectins. Relative peak areas are means ± S.E.M., and values in gray boxes indicate the λmax of the glucan after iodine complexion (means ± S.D.). Data was partly replotted in the individual panels. Numerical data are provided in Additional file 5. Sol, soluble glucans; ins, insoluble glucans; DP, degree of polymerization. Sample sizes for CLDs are 4 yeast replicate cultures or plant rosettes, except for wild-type (WT) Arabidopsis (n = 2 in panel F and n = 3 in all other panels), SS1-C sol (n = 3), SS2-A ins (n = 3), SS3-B sol (n = 2), and SS4-A sol (n = 2). Sample sizes for λmax values are 4 yeast replicate cultures or plant rosettes, except for SS1-E sol, SS2-B sol, SS2-C sol, SS2-D sol, SS2-E sol, SS3-A sol, and SS4-A sol, where n = 3
