Regulation of lipid metabolism in the snow alga Chlamydomonas nivalis in response to NaCl stress: An integrated analysis by cytomic and lipidomic approaches

► The total, neutral and polar lipids were analyzed by cytomic approach. ► The differentiations of lipid profiles were analyzed by lipidomic approach. ► Twenty-two lipid molecules were discovered as biomarkers under NaCl stress. ► “Omics” studies provide better biological understanding of algal stress phenomena.
