(A) Young Volvox adult, with about 2,000 small somatic cells in a monolayer at the surface, and nineteen large gonidia embedded in the extracellular matrix (ECM), just under the somatic cell layer. (B ...

If green algae of the species Chlamydomonas reinhardtii meet Pseudomonas protegens bacteria, their fate is sealed. The bacteria, measuring only some two micrometres, surround the algae, which are ...

Scientists have made a pivotal breakthrough in the quest to understand how single-cell green algae are able to keep track of the light as they swim. A team of researchers from the University of Exeter ...

Using high-speed cinematography, scientists at Cambridge University have discovered that individual algal cells can regulate the beating of their flagella in and out of synchrony in a manner that ...

The latest in genome sequencing was published yesterday in Science. The organism in question, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, is a rather unassuming creature: a single-celled, soil-dwelling green alga. But ...
