SUMMARY:Molecular determinants of the pyrenoid and carbon concentrating me
 chanism  in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii - Madeline Mitchell

DESCRIPTION:My aim is to provide a molecular\, genetic and physiological c
 haracterisation of the pyrenoid and the carbon concentrating mechanism (CC
 M) using Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a model organism. I have been using 
 molecular and physiological techniques to assess the phenotype of several 
 pyrenoid and CCM mutants. The pyrenoid mutants\, although they differ only
  in the sequence of the Rubisco small subunit\, show marked differences in
  pyrenoid morphology and CCM physiology. These mutants provide a framework
  to investigate the molecular basis of pyrenoid formation and the relation
 ship between pyrenoid formation and CCM induction.\n
