Gravitaxis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii: characterization using video microscopy and computer analysis.

International journal of plant sciences - 1 Nov 1999

Kam V, Moseyko N, Nemson J, Feldman L J

Abstract excerpt

We characterized the gravitactic behavior of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a unicellular green alga, using a computer-analysis system in order to study directional swimming. The effects of the calcium-channel inhibitors gadolinium and diltiazem on graviorientation and swimming speed were examined. In addition, we studied directional swimming in the ptx1 strain of C. reinhardtii, a flagellar dominance mutant. Results...
