Drastic alteration in macronutrients causes large changes in gene expression in the photosynthetic unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Preliminary data suggested that cells follow a biphasic response to this change hinging on the initiation of lipid accumulation, and we hypothesized that ...
In the actual context of climate changing environments, photosynthetic organisms need to adapt to more extreme conditions. Microalgae can be excellent organisms to understand molecular mechanisms that activate survival mechanisms under stress. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii signaling mutants are extre...
