Investigation of an Optimized Context for the Expression of GFP as a Reporter Gene in Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii
Background: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a novel recombinant eukaryotic expression system with many advantages including fast growth rate, rapid scalability, absence of human pathogens and the ability to fold and assemble complex proteins accurately, however, obstacle relatively low expression level necessitates optimizing foreign gene expression in this system. The Green Fluorescent Protein (G...
متن کاملMutants of the biological clock in Chlamydomonas reinhardi.
A genetic analysis of the biological clock in Chlamydomonas reinhardi has been initiated. Of six wild-type strains tested (3 mt(+) and 3 mt(-)), five had periods close to 24 hr whereas one had a 21-hr period. Mutants with altered clock period have been isolated. The periods of 3 of these variant strains are temperature compensated. Genetic crosses involving a long-period mutant suggest that a s...
متن کاملA Chlamydomonas genomic library in yeast artificial chromosomes.
We have constructed and characterized a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii total genomic library in yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs). The library contains 7500 clones with inserts ranging in size from 100-200 kb. The representation of the library was assessed by screening one-third of it with a probe derived from the dispersed repeat, Gulliver, which occurs approximately 13 times in the genome. At le...
متن کاملExpressed sequence tags with cDNA termini: previously overlooked resources for gene annotation and transcriptome exploration in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Many of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii expressed sequence tags (ESTs) in GenBank dbEST and community EST assemblies were either over- or undertrimmed in terms of their cDNA termini, which are defined as the diagnostic sequence elements that delineate 3'/5' ends of mRNA transcripts. Overtrimming represents a loss of directional, positional, and structural information of transcript ends whereas undert...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and its Inhibitory Effect on Growth and Virulence of Listeria monocytogenes
Background: Biosynthesis of nanoparticles using microorganisms, enzymes, and plant extracts is regarded as an alternative to chemical methods. Microalgae appear to be an efficient biological platform for nanoparticle synthesis as they grow rapidly and produce large biomass at lower cost. Objectives: The possibility of silver nanoparticles biosynthesisby freshwater green microalgae, Chlamydomona...
