Inhoudsopgave:
The green alga Chlamydomonas is widely used as an experimental model system for studies in cellular and molecular biology, and in particular plant molecular biology. This book is the only single modern compendium of information on its biology and in particular its molecular biology and genetics. Included in addition to much information on the basic biology is material of a very practical nature, namely, methods for culture, preservation of cultures, preparation of media, lists of inhibitors and other additives to culture media, help with common laboratory problems such as contamination, student demonstrations, and properties of particular strains and mutants. Casual users as well as specialists will find the book to be useful in many ways.\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides access to previously unpublished data from genetic analysis\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides descriptions of mutant strains\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDepicts summary tables comparing properties of different species and their mutant strains\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplains detailed methods for laboratory procedures of general utility\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFurnishes comparisons of culture media\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents lists of inhibitors, mutagens, and other additives to culture media\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAssists with common laboratory problems such as contamination and storage of strains\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDemonstrates protocols for laboratory demonstrations available for undergraduate teaching.\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e |
