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

Molecular characterization of an enzyme that degrades neuromodulatory fatty-acid amides

TL;DR: It is shown that oleamide hydrolase may serve as the general inactivating enzyme for a growing family of bioactive signalling molecules, the fatty-acid amides6–8, and the structure and sleep-inducing properties of cis-9-octadecenamide, a lipid isolated from the cerebrospinal fluid of sleep-deprived cats are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biofuels from algae: challenges and potential.

TL;DR: This article attempts to elucidate the major challenges to economic algal biofuels at scale, and improves the focus of the scientific community to address these challenges and move algalBiofuels from promise to reality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exploiting diversity and synthetic biology for the production of algal biofuels

TL;DR: Algae biofuels can be a more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels if sourced from organisms that can be farmed without using valuable arable land, and strain development and process engineering are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression and assembly of a fully active antibody in algae

TL;DR: The efficient expression of a unique large single-chain (lsc) antibody in the chloroplast of the unicellular, green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is demonstrated and a new type of single chain antibody containing the entire heavy chain protein, including the Fc domain is described.
