Robust Microplate-Based Methods for Culturing and in Vivo Phenotypic Screening of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Cr), a unicellular alga, is routinely utilized to study photosynthetic biochemistry, ciliary motility, and cellular reproduction.Its minimal culture requirements, unicellular morphology, and ease of transformation have made it a popular model system.Despite its relatively slow doubling time, compared with many bacteria, i
