Chlamydomonas has long been a favourite organism for genetic and biochemical studies of flagellar motility and assembly, photosynthesis, and organelle genomes. With the recent development of procedures for the efficient transformation of its nuclear genome, Chlamydomonas has become accessible to a wide range of molecular genetic approaches, including ...

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a biflagellate and photosynthetic unicellular alga that has long fascinated scientists because it combines characteristics of both plants and animals. Chlamydomonas offers the simplicity of a unicellular organism that is amenable to genetic screening, molecular, and biochemical approaches, as well as to transformation of ...

Culture method for promoting efficient ciliary growth in the Chlamydomonas pf23 mutant defective in dynein preassembly [PDF]
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is an ideal model organism for studying the cytoplasmic preassembly of ciliary dyneins. However, under normal liquid-culture conditions, Chlamydomonas preassembly-deficient mutants often show no cilia or a small number of ...

Diclofenac Degradation by Immobilized Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Scenedesmus obliquus
Diclofenac (DCF), a commonly used anti‐inflammatory medication, presents environmental concerns due to its presence in water bodies, resistance to conventional wastewater treatment methods, and detection at increasing concentrations (ng/L to µg/L) that ...

Evolutionary genomics of Chlamydomonas [PDF]
The unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is one of the primary model organisms in plant and algal biology. Although the species is fundamental to several research areas, including the study of photosynthesis, cilia and the cell cycle ...

Comparative genomics of Chlamydomonas
Abstract Despite its role as a reference organism in the plant sciences, the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii entirely lacks genomic resources from closely related species. We present highly contiguous and well-annotated genome assemblies for three unicellular C.

3D ultrastructural organization of whole Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells studied by nanoscale soft x-ray tomography [PDF]
The complex architecture of their structural elements and compartments is a hallmark of eukaryotic cells. The creation of high resolution models of whole cells has been limited by the relatively low resolution of conventional light microscopes and the ...

Responses to transient receptor potential (TRP) channel agonists in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Pungent substances, such as capsaicin and gingerol, activate the transient receptor potential (TRP)-V1 channel and affect the feeding behaviors of animals.

Functional hybrid rubisco enzymes with plant small subunits and algal large subunits: engineered rbcS cDNA for expression in chlamydomonas. [PDF]
There has been much interest in the chloroplast-encoded large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) as a target for engineering an increase in net CO(2) fixation in photosynthesis.
