The Chlamydomonas Sourcebook: Volume 1: Introduction to Chlamydomonas and Its Laboratory Use (Chlamydomonas Sourcebooks, 1) - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Ursula Goodenough is Professor of Biology Emerita at Washington University in St. Louis. She earned her PhD at Harvard University, where her thesis and postgraduate work focused on the biogenesis and ultrastructure of the Chlamydomonas chloroplast. In 1971, she initiated a career-spanning analysis of the Chlamydomonas sexual cycle and cell wall using a combination of genetics, ultrastructure, and molecular biology. She also used these approaches to study Chlamydomonas cilia and lipid-body formation. Key collaborators included Steven Adair, Patrick Ferris, Sabine Waffenschmidt, James Umen, and Jae-Hyeok Lee. Since retiring in 2017, she has completed a wide-ranging ultrastructural study of lichens.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Originally published as the Chlamydomonas Sourcebook, then expanded to a three volume comprehensive gold-standard reference, The Chlamydomonas Sourcebook Volume 1: Introduction to Chlamydomonas and Its Laboratory Use has been fully revised and updated to include the wealth of new resources for the Chlamydomonas community such as new mutant libraries, new omic studies, and potentially more information about different Chlamydomonas species in the environment.

In addition to updates to previous editions content on molecular techniques, analysis of the sequenced genome, Introduction to Chlamydomonas and Its Laboratory Use presents the latest in research and best practices for applications in research, including methods for culture, preservation of cultures, preparation of media, lists of inhibitors and other additives to culture media, common laboratory problems such as contamination, student demonstrations, and properties of particular strains and mutants.
