Project description:Chlamydomonas reinhardtii exposed to various concentrations of silver For this experiment,C. reinhardtii were exposed to (4) different concentrations of silver, as biological triplicates
Project description:This study aims at investigating the link between internalized inorganic or methyl Hg and the global expression of genes, obtained by high-throughput sequencing (RNA-Seq), in the microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Algal cells were exposed two hours in a simplified artificial medium spiked with series of inorganic Hg concentrations (0.1, 1, 100 nM Hg) or series of methyl Hg concentrations (0.05, 0.5, 5, 50 nM CH3Hg).
Project description:The transcriptome of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was characterized via RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) after exposure to a non-toxic concentration of AgNPs (0.05 mg/L). The copper deficiency responsive genes were discovered to be upregulated and responsible for the interaction between algae and AgNPs.

Algal cells were exposed two hours in a simplified artificial medium spiked with series of inorganic Hg concentrations (0.1, 1, 100 nM Hg) or series of methyl Hg concentrations (0.05, 0.5, 5, 50 nM CH3Hg). Three biological replicates were assessed for each of the 8 tested conditions: Control, 3 Hg concentrations, 4 CH3Hg concentrations.
Project description:RNA populations in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Keywords: Highly parallel pyrosequencing Small RNAs were prepared from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii total extracts,ligated to a 3' adaptor and a 5' acceptor sequentially, and then RT-PCR amplified. PCR products were reamplified using a pair of 454 cloning primers and provided to 454 Life Sciences (Branford, CT) for sequencing.

Project description:We analysed global gene expression changes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in response to 1h UV-B, applied at the same low level that was seen to promote subsequent UV-B stress tolerance, in order to elucidate the transcriptional reprogramming that leads to UV-B acclimation. mRNA profiles generated by deep sequencing from triplicate replicate Chlamydomonas reinhardtii samples sourced from independent cultures either protected from UV-B or exposed to 1h acclimation-level UV-B.
