Most of the well-characterized mitochondrial genomes from diverse green algal lineages are
circular mapping DNA molecules; however, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has a linear 15.8 kb …

The algae of the family Chlamydomonadaceae lack the gene cox3 that encodes subunit III of
cytochrome c oxidase in their mitochondrial genomes. This observation has raised the …

The ubihydroquinone: cytochrome c oxidoreductase (also called complex III, or bc 1
complex), is a multi subunit enzyme encountered in a very broad variety of organisms …

Compelling evidence exists that the colorless algae of the genus Polytomella arose from a
green Chlamydomonas-like ancestor by losing its functional photosynthetic apparatus. Due …

Heme biosynthesis involves a number of enzymatic steps which in eukaryotes take place in
different cell compartments. Enzyme compartmentalization differs between photosynthetic …

A defined medium with ethanol as sole carbon source was devised for growth of the
colorless, unicellular alga Polytomella spp. Cell density on this carbon source was related to …

We have identified previously in mitochondrial DNA of the colorless, chlorophycean, green
algal taxon, Polytomella parva, potential coding regions for four small subunit (SSU) and …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Algal strains, growth conditions, and subcellular fractionation.
C. reinhardtii cell wall-deficient strain CC400 was obtained from the Chlamydomonas …

A defined medium with ethanol as sole carbon source was devised for growth of the
colorless, unicellular alga Polytomella spp. Cell density on this carbon source was related to …

The tightly bound cardiolipins of Tween 20 solubilized bovine cytochrome bc 1 (ubiquinol:
cytochrome c oxidoreductase, EC 1.10. 2.2) can be completely removed by digestion with …
