Ostreococcus tauri is cobalamin-independent
The marine microalga Ostreococcus is considered to depend on the methionine synthase METH and its methylated cobalamin cofactor for methionine synthesis. Here I describe minimal media lacking both cobalt and cobalamin yet suitable for clonal growth of Ostreococcus tauri. Because Ostreococcus lacks the methylcobalamin-independent methionine synthase METE, Ostreococcus growth without cobalamin is...
متن کاملOrganellar Inheritance in the Green Lineage: Insights from Ostreococcus tauri
Along the green lineage (Chlorophyta and Streptophyta), mitochondria and chloroplast are mainly uniparentally transmitted and their evolution is thus clonal. The mode of organellar inheritance in their ancestor is less certain. The inability to make clear phylogenetic inference is partly due to a lack of information for deep branching organisms in this lineage. Here, we investigate organellar e...
متن کاملGenomic Transformation of the Picoeukaryote Ostreococcus tauri
Common problems hindering rapid progress in Plant Sciences include cellular, tissue and whole organism complexity, and notably the high level of genomic redundancy affecting simple genetics in higher plants. The novel model organism Ostreococcus tauri is the smallest free-living eukaryote known to date, and possesses a greatly reduced genome size and cellular complexity, manifested by the prese...
متن کاملA Viral Immunity Chromosome in the Marine Picoeukaryote, Ostreococcus tauri
Micro-algae of the genus Ostreococcus and related species of the order Mamiellales are globally distributed in the photic zone of world's oceans where they contribute to fixation of atmospheric carbon and production of oxygen, besides providing a primary source of nutrition in the food web. Their tiny size, simple cells, ease of culture, compact genomes and susceptibility to the most abundant l...
متن کاملBacteria in Ostreococcus tauri cultures – friends, foes or hitchhikers?
Marine phytoplankton produce half of the oxygen we breathe and their astounding diversity is just starting to be unraveled. Many microbial phytoplankton are thought to be phototrophic, depending solely on inorganic sources of carbon and minerals for growth rather than preying on other planktonic cells. However, there is increasing evidence that symbiotic associations, to a large extent with bac...
