The green unicellular biflagellated alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, has received much
attention in the study of photosynthesis. The development of new sophisticated molecular …

▪ Abstract This review focuses on the biosynthesis of pigments in the unicellular alga
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and their physiological and regulatory functions in the context of …

The second edition of this best-selling handbook is bigger, more comprehensive, and now
completely current. In addition to thorough updates to the discussions featured in the first …

Blue light as an environmental cue plays a pivotal role in controlling the progression of the
sexual life cycle in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Phototropin was considered …

The efficient operation of an algal photobioreactor (PBR) requires appropriate lighting
conditions. Despite recent advantages in PBR design and operation, optimal lighting …

Green algae have a highly complex and diverse set of cryptochrome photoreceptor
candidates including members of the following subfamilies: plant, plant-like, animal-like …

Cryptochromes are flavin-binding proteins that act as blue light receptors in bacteria, fungi,
plants, and insects and are components of the circadian oscillator in mammals. Animal and …

In the search for a Chlamydomonas reinhardtii photoreceptor that may mediate blue‐light‐
induced responses we identified a gene that encodes a protein with a structure typical for …

Cryptochromes are known as flavin-binding blue light receptors in bacteria, fungi, plants,
and insects. The animal-like cryptochrome (aCRY) of the green alga Chlamydomonas …

Publisher Summary This chapter describes the structural aspects of different photoreceptive
organelles including their interaction with cytoskeletal elements. It also examines the …
