Chemoresponses 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 کاملChlamydomonas 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 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 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...
متن کاملPhototaxis mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
A group of 31 mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with altered phototactic responses was isolated. Growth of all the mutants was normal and, with one exception, they had no gross morphological aberrations. One mutant produced supernumerary flagella. The mutants can be subdivided into five phenotypic classes on the basis of their abnormal responses: slow positive, no reponse, slow negative, fas...
