We are using a molecular-genetic approach to investigate the role of nuclear genes in the biogenesis of the electron transfer complexes of mitochondria and chloroplasts. Our analysis of nuclear mutants of the green alga Chlamydomonas that are defective in respiration or photosynthesis has led to the identification of genes encoding factors required for the expression of specific organellar genes, and genes encoding structural components of the complexes.

The effect of chloroplatinic acid on the growth of the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas eugametos has been studied. This platinum compound reduces the rate of cell division and induces palmelloid formation by preventing the liberation of dividing cells. Recovery from the chloroplatinic-acid effect occurs after removal of the compound from the medium.

To address the problem of amino acid auxotroph scarcities in algae, an explanation was sought specifically for the nonrecoverability of arginine auxotrophs in the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas eugametos. Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, in which the auxotroph has been recovered, was taken as a reference. In C. eugametos, unlike previously reported in C. reinhardtii, the use of selective media free of [Formula: see text] appeared not to affect the mutation spectrum. Arginine supported growth as the sole nitrogen source and canavanine sulfate inhibited growth, but both effects were less pronounced in C. eugametos. The concentration ratios (based on intracellular arginine accumulation) in C. eugametos remained less than 23% that of C. reinhardtii. The results indicate that nonrecoverability of arginine auxotrophs in C. eugametos is due to insufficient cellular accessibility to arginine.

AbstractWe have recently proposed a novel strategy named photosynthetic tissue engineering to overcome clinical problems due to hypoxia. The idea is based on transgenic photoautotrophic microorganisms that produce oxygen and at the same time secrete functional recombinant proteins into tissues. In particular, the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has successfully been used to boost the regenerative potential of several biomedical devices, such as dermal scaffolds and surgical sutures.
