Aquatic photosynthetic microorganisms account for almost 50% of the world's
photosynthesis (19). These organisms face several challenges in acquiring CO2 from the …

The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a popular unicellular organism for studying
photosynthesis, cilia biogenesis, and micronutrient homeostasis. Ten years since its …

Phototaxis and photophobic responses of green algae are mediated by rhodopsins with
microbial-type chromophores. We report a complementary DNA sequence in the green alga …

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 …

Xanthophylls participate in light harvesting and are essential in protecting the chloroplast
from photooxidative damage. To investigate the roles of xanthophylls in photoprotection, we …

With the rapid development of nanotechnology, there is an increasing risk of human and
environmental exposure to nanotechnology-based materials and products. As water …

Photosynthetic organisms are among the earliest life forms on earth and their biochemistry is
strictly dependent on a wide range of inorganic nutrients owing to the use of metal cofactor …

Required for the assembly and maintenance of eukaryotic cilia and flagella, intraflagellar
transport (IFT) consists of the bidirectional movement of large protein particles between the …

The basic leucine (Leu) zipper (bZIP) proteins compose a family of transcriptional regulators
present exclusively in eukaryotes. The bZIP proteins characteristically harbor a bZIP domain …

Photosynthetic acclimation to CO2-limiting stress is associated with control of genetic and
physiological responses through a signal transduction pathway, followed by integrated …
