Eyespot-Assembly Mutants in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
Genetics, 1999 Abstract Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a single-celled green alga that phototaxes toward light by means of a light-sensitive organelle, the eyespot. The eyespot is composed of photoreceptor and Ca++-channel signal transduction components in the plasma membrane of the cell and reflective carotenoid pigment layers in an underlying region of

Chemotactic responses of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Biology, 1981 A capillary chemotaxis assay revealed that among a wide range of inorganic and organic chemicals, only ammonium ion (NH4+) could serve as an attractant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. NH4+ (10(-2) M) gave the maximum response, with up to a 15-fold increase in accumulated algae being measured. No repellents for the chlorophyte were detected.

Multi-Pixel Photon Counters for Optofluidic Characterization of Particles and Microalgae
Biosensors, 2015 We have developed an optofluidic biosensor to study microscale particles and different species of microalgae. The system is comprised of a microchannel with a set of chevron-shaped grooves. The chevrons allows for hydrodynamic focusing of the core stream

Vegetative and gametic flagellum membranes of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2015 Differences were demonstrated in the composition, electrophoretic patterns of polypeptide chains and neutral sugar composition between vegetative and gametic flagellum membranes of two strains (89 and 90) of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

Nature Communications, 2021 Single-stranded oligodeoxynucleotides are often used as templates for DNA repair during genome editing. Here the authors show that, unlike in animals, single-strand templated DNA repair in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii relies on the alternative end-joining ...

The basal bodies of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
Cilia, 2016 The unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, is a biflagellated cell that can swim or glide. C. reinhardtii cells are amenable to genetic, biochemical, proteomic, and microscopic analysis of its basal bodies. The basal bodies contain triplet microtubules and a well-ordered transition zone.

Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

From molecular manipulation of domesticated Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to survival in nature
eLife, 2018 In the mid-20th century, the unicellular and genetically tractable green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was first developed as a model organism to elucidate fundamental cellular processes such as photosynthesis, light perception and the structure ...
