Nitrate assimilation is a key process for nitrogen (N) acquisition in green microalgae. Among
Chlorophyte algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has resulted to be a good model system to …

Pollution poses an increasing threat to the environment and to human health. Nitrogen
pollution is of great concern, with nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the air and ammonia nitrogen in …

Dr. Harris has played a major role in the development of this organism as a model system.
Her previous version of the Chlamydomonas Sourcebook which published in 1989, has …

Nitrogen (N) is a key nutrient that limits global primary productivity; hence, N-use efficiency is
of compelling interest in agriculture and aquaculture. We used Chlamydomonas reinhardtii …

Like many microalgae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii forms lipid droplets rich in
triacylglycerols when nutrient deprived. To begin studying the mechanisms underlying this …

Abstract The AMMONIUM TRANSPORTER (AMT) family comprises six isoforms in
Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, we describe the complete functional organization of root …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a relevant signal molecule involved in many plant processes. However,
the mechanisms and proteins responsible for its synthesis are scarcely known. In most …

Inorganic nitrogen is an essential nutrient for photosynthetic organisms. Its efficient use in
nature involves adaptation of the organisms to the availability of the nitrogen supply, to …

The stability and harmony of ecological niches rely on intricate interactions between their
members. During evolution, organisms have developed the ability to thrive in different …

Starving microalgae for nitrogen sources is commonly used as a biotechnological tool to
boost storage of reduced carbon into starch granules or lipid droplets, but the accompanying …
