Klebsormidium nitens is an alga of the charophyte class considered to be a good model for studying the adaptation of plants to terrestrial life. Its genome has been completely sequenced and 16215 protein-coding genes have been predicted. This article presents the proteins identified by mass spectrom...
genome sequence project of a filamentous terrestrial alga Klebsormidium nitens NIES-2285 (NIES-2285 strain was taxonomically reclassified from K. flaccidum)
To determine transcriptional response to GS-inhibiting herbicides, RNAseq analysis was perform on Klebsormidium treated with 10mM glutamine, 100uM phosphinothricin, or 5uM methionine sulfoxime for 48h. Treatment was performed by incubating cultures with the compounds in Full Yamagami media under low...
During the evolution of life on Earth, the conquest of land by plants played a pivotal role producing a boost in land biomass, a substantial drop in atmospheric CO2, an increase in oxygen and the emergence of new terrestrial habitats facilitating land colonization by animals. Therefore, the characte...
