The Chlamydomonas reinhardtii plastid and mitochondrial transcriptomes were surveyed for changes in RNA profiles resulting from growth in 12 culture conditions representing 8 abiotic stimuli.

The structure of Euglena granulata and Chlamydomonas eugametos has been studied using polarization and electron microscopy, cinematography, and chemical extraction procedures, with the main focus on ...

An international research team has made an unexpected discovery of a biased counting mechanism used by the single-celled green alga Chlamydomonas to control cell division. An international research ...

Nitrogen starvation triggers signal transduction pathways that result in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii entering a cycle of sexual reproduction. A second signal cascade is triggered by blue light and ...

Chlamydomonas is a type of green algae that has extensive uses both as a model organism for research and as an educational tool in the classroom. The Chlamydomonas Resource Center, from the University ...

One of the most pivotal steps in evolution -- the transition from unicellular to multicellular organisms -- may not have required as much retooling as commonly believed, scientists have found. A ...

In everyday life, green algae tend to be bad news. In damp weather, microscopic unicellular algae form a slimy layer on garden furniture and house walls; during warm summers, they form a scum on the ...

Imagine that your car runs on carbon emissions -- consuming rather than creating one of the main drivers of climate change. Such an idea is not as far-fetched as you might think. Imagine having a car ...

A team of biophysicists led by Prof. Dr. Oliver Bäumchen and Dr. Maike Lorenz has developed a detailed protocol for the reliable cultivation of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

At a lab on the UC San Diego campus, scientist Frank Fields might be found in a loud room, gazing upon dozens of green-tinted beakers. They're filled with all kinds of algae and water mixtures that ...
