Journal ArticleDOI

The Chlamydomonas Genome Reveals the Evolution of Key Animal and Plant Functions

Sabeeha S. Merchant, +118 more
- 12 Oct 2007 - 
TL;DR: Analyses of the Chlamydomonas genome advance the understanding of the ancestral eukaryotic cell, reveal previously unknown genes associated with photosynthetic and flagellar functions, and establish links between ciliopathy and the composition and function of flagella.
Journal ArticleDOI

Redesigning photosynthesis to sustainably meet global food and bioenergy demand

TL;DR: This work explores an array of prospective redesigns of plant systems at various scales aimed at increasing crop yields through improved photosynthetic efficiency and performance, and suggests some proposed redesigns are certain to face obstacles that will require alternate routes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbonic anhydrases in plants and algae

TL;DR: Three evolutionarily unrelated families of carbonic anhydrases catalyse the reversible hydration of CO2, increasing the interconversion between CO2 and HCO3- + H+ in living organisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

A novel α‐type carbonic anhydrase associated with the thylakoid membrane in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is required for growth at ambient CO2

TL;DR: The results indicate that the carbonic anhydrase, extrinsically located within the chloroplast thylakoid lumen, is essential for growth of C.reinhardtii at ambient levels of CO2, and that at these CO2 concentrations the enzyme is required for optimal photosystem II photochemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proposed Carbon Dioxide Concentrating Mechanism in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

TL;DR: The first challenge is presented by the properties of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco), which accounts for almost 50% of the world's photosynthesis as discussed by the authors.
