The group around Yuta SUZUKI built a high-speed stimlated Raman scattering (SRS) flow cytometry device which allowed to sort live Euglena gracilis microalgae within 35 msec according to their lipid content. The results obtained in cooperation with Euglena Co. are expected to help screen for higher biofuel-producing variants.
