An organelle K⁺ channel is required for osmoregulation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii [PDF]
Fresh water protozoa and algae face hypotonic challenges in their living environment. Many of them employ a contractile vacuole system to uptake excessive water from the cytoplasm and expel it to the environment to achieve cellular homeostasis.
