Genomic analysis of organismal complexity in the multicellular green alga Volvox carteri.

The multicellular green alga Volvox carteri and its morphologically diverse close relatives (the volvocine algae) are well suited for the investigation of the evolution of multicellularity and development. We sequenced the 138-mega-base pair genome of V. carteri and compared its approximately 14,500 predicted proteins to those of its unicellular relative Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Despite funda...

Characterization of Hydrogen Metabolism in the Multicellular Green Alga Volvox carteri

Hydrogen gas functions as a key component in the metabolism of a wide variety of microorganisms, often acting as either a fermentative end-product or an energy source. The number of organisms reported to utilize hydrogen continues to grow, contributing to and expanding our knowledge of biological hydrogen processes. Here we demonstrate that Volvox carteri f. nagariensis, a multicellular green a...

Volvoxrhodopsin, a light-regulated sensory photoreceptor of the spheroidal green alga Volvox carteri.

Somatic cells of the multicellular alga Volvox carteri contain a visual rhodopsin that controls the organism's phototactic behavior via two independent photoreceptor currents. Here, we report the identification of an opsinlike gene, designated as volvoxopsin (vop). The encoded protein exhibits homologies to the opsin of the unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (chlamyopsin) and to the ent...

Sexual Induction in Volvox Carteri

The study of the dependence of reactions on the concentration of various compounds is often of great value in determining reaction mechanisms . In chemical kinetics, it is often found that, according to van't Hoff's rule, the order of dependence of a reaction on the concentration of some compound involved in that reaction is equal to the number of molecules of the compound involved in each reac...

The sex-inducing pheromone and wounding trigger the same set of genes in the multicellular green alga Volvox.

The sex-inducing pheromone of the multicellular green alga Volvox carteri is a glycoprotein that triggers development of males and females at a concentration <10(-16) M. By differential screening of a cDNA library, two novel genes were identified that are transcribed under the control of this pheromone. Unexpectedly, one gene product was characterized as a lysozyme/chitinase, and the other gene...
