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 …

There is increasing interest in the use of microalgae for biotechnological applications and as
plant model systems. Although biotechnological processes based on transgenic microalgae …

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 …

Current biomass sources for energy production in Iran include sewerage as well as
agricultural, animal, food industry and municipal solid wastes, and are anticipated to account …

Phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) are the major nutrients that constrain plant and algal
growth in nature. Recent advances in understanding nutrient signalling mechanisms of …

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 …

This study was conducted to investigate the feasibility of microalgal biomass production and
nutrient removal from recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) water (RASW) with low …

Ammonium and nitrate are primary nitrogen sources for many organisms. Though the
energy cost required for ammonium assimilation is lower than that of nitrate (2) and many …

Nitrate serves as a potent signal to control gene expression in plants and algae, but little is
known about the signaling role of nitrite, the direct product of nitrate reduction. Analysis of …

Positive signaling by nitrate in its assimilation pathway has been studied in Chlamydomonas
reinhardtii. Among> 34,000 lines generated by plasmid insertion, 10 mutants were unable to …
