cmu1-1 is a new mutation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii that causes a change in cell shape due to an alteration of cytoplasmic microtubule organization. cmu1 mutant cells were first identified based on their altered cell shape. Unlike wild-type cells, which are ellipsoid, cmu1 cells tend to be either round or egg-shaped with the flagella extending from the narrow end of the cell. Electron microscopic comparison of...
