Taxonomy: Eukaryota | Viridiplantae | Chlorophyta | Chlorophyceae | Chlamydomonadales | Chlamydomonadaceae | Chlamydomonas Comment: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a single celled chlorophyte. Highly adaptable, these green algae live in many different environments throughout the world. Normally deriving energy from photosynthesis, with an alternative carbon source, C. reinhardtii can also thrive in total darkness. The DNA used for the genomic sequence was CC-503 cw92 mt+, a cell-wall deficient strain, which was used in order to get high-quality DNA. In addition the BAC library was also prepared from strain CC-503 cw92 mt+. Most of the EST libraries sequenced at Stanford were prepared in the wild-type strain CC-1690 21 gr mt+. Both CC-503 and CC-1690 derive from the same original field isolate, made in Massachusetts in 1945, but they have been separate since at least the mid-1950s. S1 D2, a strain used for some ESTs and comparative sequencing, is a field isolate from Minnesota, dating from the 1980s.
