Chlamydomonas

OverviewAI-generated

Chlamydomonas is a genus of algae within the family Chlamydomonadaceae. It belongs to the phylum Chlorophyta, class Chlorophyceae, and order Volvocales, according to GBIF data, while WoRMS lists the order as Chlamydomonadales. The genus is classified under the kingdom Plantae and has the taxonomic type Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Its common name is クラミドモナス属.

The taxon is accepted by WoRMS, with authority cited as Ehrenberg, 1833. Chlamydomonas inhabits marine, brackish, and freshwater environments. Occurrence records are documented in Mexico, the United States, Canada, Austria, and Germany. The genus has 58,900 occurrence records, 10,904 PubMed entries, and 254 iDigBio records.

种正文衣藻属（Chlamydomonas)，是绿藻下的一个属。他们都是带有鞭毛的单细胞生物。有纤维素壁，营养细胞有两根等长鞭毛，叶绿体杯状，叶绿体前端或侧面有一红色眼点，细胞核位于细胞中央。衣藻属在夜间进行无性生殖，繁殖几代后才行有性生殖。[1]衣藻通常被分子生物学视为一种标准的模式生物，被長期、反覆的作為研究材料，研究核酸和蛋白质等生物大分子的功能、形态结构特征及其重要性和规律性。因为衣藻体内有离子通道，其可以直接被光线产生光敏反应，比如ChR2（channelrhodopsin）。衣藻属是绿藻门单细胞的成员。外部链接衣藻研究中心衣藻化学反应数据衣藻属是一個與藻類相關的小作品。你可以通过編輯或修訂擴充其內容。 ^ 吴相钰; 陈守良; 葛明德. 陈阅增普通生物学 4. 高等教育出版社. 2014.

Chlamydomonas ( ) is a genus of green algae consisting of about 150 species of unicellular flagellates, found in stagnant water and on damp soil, in freshwater, seawater, and even in snow as "snow algae". Chlamydomonas is used as a model organism for molecular biology, especially studies of flagellar motility and chloroplast dynamics, biogenesis, and genetics. One of the many striking features of Chlamydomonas is that it contains ion channels (channelrhodopsins) that are directly activated by light. Some regulatory systems of Chlamydomonas are more complex than their homologs in Gymnosperms, with evolutionarily related regulatory proteins being larger and containing additional domains.
