Cellular Interactions during the Mating Process in Chlamydomonas eugametos.
A method to determine the mating competence of Chlamydomonas eugametos was developed. The contribution of each mating type in the pair formation was investigated using asymmetric gamete mixtures. It was established that pair formation is not mediated by a pheromonal attraction mechanism between partner gametes, but depends on collision chances. On the other hand, it was demonstrated that during...
متن کاملWheat germ agglutinin induces mating reactions in Chlamydomonas eugametos by cross-linking agglutinin-associated glycoproteins in the flagellar membrane
Species-specific binding between the flagellar surfaces of mating types plus and minus (mt+ and mt-) gametes of Chlamydomonas eugametos is mediated by mating type-specific agglutinins. Their interaction triggers several mating responses that are necessary for cell fusion, such as flagellar twitching, flagellar tip activation, redistribution of agglutinin molecules to the flagellar tip (tipping)...
متن کاملUltrastructure of Chlamydomonas eugametos palmelloids induced by chloroplatinic acid treatment.
Palmelloids induced in the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas eugametos by chloroplatinic acid treatment have been studied electron microscopically. Thin-sectioned specimens revealed the multilayer nature of the cell walls after second division within the palmelloid. Although synchrony in cell division is lost, to a certain degree, within the palmelloid, the cells themselves appeared normal, ...
متن کاملPhototactic responses of Chlamydomonas eugametos gametes before and after fusion.
The phototactic behavior of Chlamydomonas eugametos gametes and vis-à-vis pairs was quantitated using a fully automated, computer-controlled microvideo image analysis system. Two different mt- (mating type minus) and one mt+ (mating type plus) strain, together with the two combinations of pairs were studied. One mt- strain of dark-adapted gametes was non-phototactic while the others were positi...
متن کاملDistribution of concanavalin a binding carbohydrates during mating in Chlamydomonas.
Cell surface carbohydrates, detected by fluorescein isothiocyanate/concanavalin A (FITC-ConA), were identified at four locations on gametes of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. (1) The cell wall: uniform labelling with FITC-ConA was observed; a substantial number of sites were localized in the sodium dodecyl sulphate-insoluble inner wall, which contains the flagellar collars. (2) The periplasm: a cres...
