Abstract excerpt
The green alga Haematococcus pluvialis has a plant-like cell wall consisting of glycoproteins and cellulose that is modified during the cell cycle and under various conditions. These features allow Haematococcus to be used as a model organism for studying cell wall biology. Development of the Haematococcus model is hampered by the absence of mutants that could provide insight into the biosynthesis and assembly of...
