I've been trying to extract proteins from microalgae, and I'm getting around 0.7 mg/mL from a 20 mg pellet, but when I load it on my SDS-PAGE I'm not getting any bands, according to my calculation I'm loading around 0.3 mg/mL of protein per well which should be more than enough as I've read that coomassie blue R-250 staining can detect as little as 0.5 ug of total protein per band.

Do you have any suggestions that explains why I'm not getting any bands?
