(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 ...

Prolyl 4-hydroxylases (P4Hs) catalyze formation of 4-hydroxyproline (4Hyp), which is found in many plant glycoproteins. We cloned and characterized Cr-P4H-1, one of 10 P4H-like Chlamydomonas ...

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.

A green, single-celled organism called Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has served as a model species for topics spanning algae-based biofuels to plant evolution. While algae have been used as dietary ...

Virginia Tech researchers discovered the largest known latent virus infecting Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a green alga long thought to be virus-free. Named Punuivirus, it integrates into the host ...

Researchers established a robust Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cultivation system capable of rapid growth using formate as the carbon source. For the first time, researchers achieved successful algal ...

A widespread, fast-growing plant called Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is famous in scientific laboratories due to its position as the world's most exhaustively studied algae. For decades, the green, ...

The unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has already given research a massive boost: One of its light sensors, channelrhodopsin-2, founded the success of optogenetics about 20 years ago.

Biophysicists have long wondered how swimming micro-organisms co-ordinate the motions of their arms – or flagella – as they propel themselves through water. Now, researchers at the Delft University of ...
