Interest in exploiting algae as a biofuel source and the role of nutrient deficiency in inducing triacylglyceride (TAG) accumulation in cells necessitates a strategy to efficiently formulate species-specific culture media that can be easily manipulated. Using the reference organism Chlamydomonas rei...
ORGANISM(S): Chlamydomonas reinhardtii 
C. reinhardtii cells exposed to abiotic stresses (e.g. iron-, nitrogen-, zinc- or phosphorus-deficiency) accumulate TAGs which are stored in lipid droplets. Here, we report that iron starvation leads to formation of lipids bodies and accumulation of TAGs. This occurs between 12 and 24 h of iron-star...
ORGANISM(S): Chlamydomonas reinhardtii 
Zn-limited cells accumulate Cu in intracellular structures in a reversable manner. We used RNAseq analysis to monitor gene expression in Zn-limited cells, and during a time course (0 - 24 h) after Zn resupply. Comparison of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii gene expression when Zn deficient cells are resup...
