Chloroplast Methyltransferase Homolog RMT2 is Involved in Photosystem I Biogenesis

R. G. Kim, W. Huang, J. Findinier, F. Bunbury, P. Redekop, R. Shrestha, T. Grismer, J. Vilarrasa-Blasi, R. E. Jinkerson, N. Fakhimi, F. Fauser, M. C. Jonikas, M. Onishi, S.-L. Xu, A. R. Grossman

The paper identifies RMT2 as a chloroplast methyltransferase homolog involved in photosystem I biogenesis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii through a high-throughput O2 sensitivity screen.

The conserved protein CBA1 is required for vitamin B12 uptake in different algal lineages

A. P. Sayer, M. Llavero-Pasquina, K. Geisler, A. Holzer, F. Bunbury, G. I. Mendoza-Ochoa, A. Lawrence, M. J. Warren, P. Mehrshahi, A. G. Smith

Knockout mutants and physiological studies show CBA1 is essential for vitamin B12 uptake in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Phaeodactylum tricornutum.

Exploring the onset of B12-based mutualisms using a recently evolved Chlamydomonas auxotroph and B12-producing bacteria

F. Bunbury, E. Deery, A. Sayer, V. Bhardwaj, E. Harrison, M. J. Warren, A. G. Smith

The paper investigates how a B12-dependent alga forms mutualisms with B12-producing bacteria, finding that higher B12 release by bacteria benefits both partners in co-culture.

Combining SIMS and mechanistic modelling to reveal nutrient kinetics in an algal-bacterial mutualism

H. Laeverenz Schlogelhofer, F. J. Peaudecerf, F. Bunbury, M. J. Whitehouse, R. A. Foster, A. G. Smith, O. A. Croze

The paper combines SIMS with mechanistic modeling to study nutrient kinetics in a synthetic algal-bacterial mutualism, revealing delays in cross-feeding due to initial carbon pools.

Physiological and molecular responses of a newly evolved auxotroph of Chlamydomonas to B12 deprivation

F. Bunbury, K. E. Helliwell, P. Mehrshahi, M. P. Davey, D. L. Salmon, A. Holzer, N. Smirnoff, A. G. Smith

This study examines the physiological and molecular responses of a newly evolved B12-dependent mutant of Chlamydomonas to B12 deprivation and shows that co-culturing with B12-producing bacteria improves survival and B12 use-efficiency.

Mutualism between microbial populations in structured environments: the role of geometry in diffusive exchanges

F. J. Peaudecerf, F. Bunbury, V. Bhardwaj, M. A. Bees, A. G. Smith, R. E. Goldstein, O. A. Croze

The paper models how geometric structure affects diffusive exchanges in microbial mutualisms, showing counterintuitive dependencies on diffusion geometry in a synthetic algal-bacterial co-culture.
