Abstract: We used Nile red to estimate lipid content in oleaginous yeasts using a high-throughput approach. We measured the fluorescence intensity of Nile red using different solvents, yeast strains, and incubation times in optimized excitation/emission wavelengths. The data show the relative fluorescence units (RFU) for Nile red excitation, using 1× PBS, 1× PBS and 5% v / v isopropyl alcohol, 50% v / v glycerol, culture medium A-gly broth, and A-gly broth supplemented with 5% v / v DMSO. In addition, we showed the RFU for the Nile red dye for different oleaginous and non-oleaginous yeast strains, such as Meyerozyma guilliermondii BI281A, Yarrowia lipolytica QU21 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae MRC164. Other measurements of lipid accumulation kinetics were shown for the above and additional yeast strains. These datasets provide the guidelines to obtain the optimal solvent system and the minimal interaction time for the Nile red dye to enter in the cells and obtain a stable readout.
