Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
A mutation at the PFlO locus of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii leads to abnormal cell motility. The asymmetric form of the ciliary beat stroke characteristic of wild-type flagella is modified by this mutation to a nearly symmetric beat. We report here that this abnormal motility is a conditional phenotype that depends on light intensity. In the absence of light or under lo...
متن کاملInositol phospholipid metabolism may trigger flagellar excision in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells shed their flagella in response to environmental stress. Under favorable conditions, flagella are quickly regrown. To learn more about the signals that trigger flagellar excision and regrowth we have investigated inositol phospholipid metabolites, molecules implicated in signal transduction in several other systems. After deflagellation by low pH or mastoparan, a...
متن کاملSelenoprotein-Transgenic Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Selenium (Se) deficiency is associated with the occurrence of many diseases. However, excessive Se supplementation, especially with inorganic Se, can result in toxicity. Selenoproteins are the major forms of Se in vivo to exert its biological function. Expression of those selenoproteins, especially with the application of a newly developed system, is thus very important for studying the me...
متن کاملChemoresponses of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Cells of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii have been found to respond to chemicals in two ways: chemokinesis and chemotaxis. Several amino acids, fatty acids, and inorganic salts can stimulate these responses.
متن کاملPhototaxis in Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii
Parameters which distinguish phototaxis from random motility in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii have been defined with quantitative assays. The phototactic responses in photosynthetic, mixotrophic, and heterotrophic cultures were highest during exponential growth and declined rapidly as the cultures entered stationary phase. In contrast, random motility was relatively constant throughout growth. Phot...
