Photosynthetic Reactions by Chloroplast Fragments of Chlamydomonas reinhardi.
Photosynthetic phosphorylation has been studied in (letail in a wxide variety of higher plants andl photosynthetic bacteria, but to date only a few investigations have been made in the algae. Although a high rate of photosynthetic phosphorylation has been reported for cell-free preparations of the blue-green alga A iabaena z,ariabilis (11), only fragmentary data are available describing this pr...
متن کاملMutations that alter the transmission of chloroplast genes in Chlamydomonas.
Two mutations are described that alter the pattern of inheritance of chloroplast genes in Chlamydomonas. The mutant gene mat-1 linked to the mating type allele mt(-) greatly increases the frequency of exceptional zygotes, i.e., zygotes that transmit chloroplast genes from the mt(-) (male) parent. In some crosses, 80-90% of the zygotes are biparental, transmitting chloroplast genes from both par...
متن کاملMild environmental stress elicits mutations affecting fitness in Chlamydomonas.
Cultures of Chlamydomonas were exposed to a range of relatively mild stresses for a period of 24 h. These stresses comprised high and low temperatures, osmotic stress, low pH, starvation and toxic stress. They were then allowed to recuperate for around ten vegetative generations under near-optimal conditions in unmodified minimal medium. Fitness was then assayed as the rate of division of isola...
متن کاملNuclear mutations affecting mitochondrial structure and function in Chlamydomonas
Wild type cells of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii can grow in the in the dark by taking up and respiring exogenously supplied acetate. Obligate photoautotrophic (dark dier, dk) mutants of this alga have been selected which grow at near wild type rates in the light, but rapidly die when transferred to darkness because of defects in mitochondrial structure and function. In crosses of th...
متن کاملChloroplast Ultrastructure in Mutant Strains of Chlamydomonas reinhardi Lacking Components of the Photosynthetic Apparatus.
The fine structure of the chloroplast of wild-type and 9 photosynthetic mutant strains of Chlamydomonas reinhardi is described. The chloroplast phenotypes of the mutant strains are clearly distinct from the wild type in all but 2 cases. Moreover, strains with similar photosynthetic disabilities have structurally similar chloroplasts. These differences are apparently not the result of altered ch...
