This array represents approximately 10 000 genes and the data indicate that the specificity of the array is better than that of the previous cDNA-based array.

Pyruvate formate-lyase and a novel route of eukaryotic ATP synthesis in Chlamydomonas mitochondria. J Biol Chem 281 (2006) 9909-9918. The authors completed a proteomic survey and found that Chlamydomonas makes pyruvate formate-lyase, which is almost never found in eukaryotes. Peptides of other proteins that are associated with fermentation were also identified. These findings suggest that Chlamydomonas has a range of fermentation pathways that it can use when the environment becomes anoxic.

The authors show that vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is required by algae primarily as a cofactor for the vitamin B12-dependent methionine synthase. Furthermore, cobalamin auxotrophy arose numerous times throughout evolution, probably a consequence of the loss of the vitamin B12-independent form of the methionine synthase.

Biochim Biophys Acta 1763 (2006) 578-594. Analysis of the draft genome suggests that metal homeostasis in Chlamydomonas depends upon a blend of mechanisms that operate in animals, plants and microbes. The authors discuss the ways in which Chlamydomonas acclimates to its dynamic metal environment, especially as regards to copper and iron, and provide insights into the allocation of metals in the cell, and the relationship between photo-oxidative stress and metal homeostasis.

The authors have developed technologies to profile metabolites in Chlamydomonas. They show distinctive metabolite profiles under nitrogen, sulfur and phosphorus deprivation conditions. This type of analysis is beginning to reveal the pathways in Chlamydomonas that are activated under specific environmental conditions.
