Computer-Assisted Tracking of Chlamydomonas Species

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a model system for motility in unicellular organisms. Photo-, gravi-, and chemotaxis have previously been associated with C.

Characterization and differential expression of microRNAs elicited by sulfur deprivation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

BMC Genomics, 2012
Background microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to play an essential role in the modulation of numerous biological processes in eukaryotes. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is an ideal model organism for the study of many metabolic processes including responses ...

PHOTOTAXIS IN CHLAMYDOMONAS REINHARDTII [PDF]

The Journal of Cell Biology, 1973
Parameters which distinguish phototaxis from random motility in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii have been defined with quantitative assays. The phototactic responses in photosynthetic, mixotrophic, and heterotrophic cultures were highest during exponential growth and declined rapidly as the cultures entered stationary phase.

Use of microalgae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii for production of double-stranded RNA against shrimp virus

Aquaculture Reports, 2016
RNA interference has been proposed to be a promising tool for combating shrimp viruses. Antiviral double-stranded (ds)RNA has been mostly produced in Escherichia coli-expression system because of its high efficiency and inexpensive operations.

Visualizing Filamentous Actin in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

Bio-Protocol, 2019
This protocol aims to visualize the filamentous actin network in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. We improved fixed-cell labeling conditions using the F-actin probe, phalloidin. We created a Chlamydomonas-optimized protocol by halving the phalloidin incubation

Partially Redundant Actin Genes in Chlamydomonas Control Transition Zone Organization and Flagellum-Directed Traffic

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: The unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a biflagellated cell with two actin genes: one encoding a conventional actin (IDA5) and the other encoding a divergent novel actin-like protein (NAP1).

Intracellular Carbonic Anhydrase of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1995
An intracellular carbonic anhydrase (CA; EC 4.2.1.1) was purified to homogeneity from a mutant strain of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (CW 92) lacking a cell wall. Intact cells were washed to remove periplasmic CA and were lysed and fractionated into soluble and membrane fractions by sedimentation.

An exploratory study on the possibilities of microalgal biotechnology to obtain the essential 6Li isotope as fusion fuel

Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2023
Future energy supply needs to overcome two challenges: environmental impact and dependence on geopolitically unstable countries. A very promising alternative is based on lithium, an element for batteries, and whose isotope 6Li will be essential in ...

Control Strategies in Guanine Biocrystallization

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Biological guanine crystals produce spectacular photonic phenomena in animals and hold great promise as new, sustainable optical materials. We review how organisms precisely control the structure, morphologies, and resulting optical properties of these crystals using a set of ingenious ‘design’ strategies, including control of pH, template‐directed ...

Photosynthetic response of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Chlamydomonas sp. 1710 to zinc toxicity

Frontiers in Microbiology
Zinc (Zn) is an essential trace element but can lead to water contamination and ecological deterioration when present in excessive amounts. Therefore, investigating the photosynthetic response of microalgae to Zn stress is of great significance.
