Abstract excerpt
Arsenate resistance has been used for screening for photosynthetic mutants of Chlamydomonas, since photosynthetic mutants, such as CC981 defective in phosphoribulokinase, were shown to have arsenate resistance. Also, another type of arsenate-resistant mutants, including AR3 that lacks a homolog of a phosphate (Pi) transporter, PTB1, has been isolated. We investigated the uptake of Pi and arsenate, and the gene...
