Dramatic Changes in Mitochondrial Subcellular Location and Morphology Accompany Activation of the CO2 Concentrating Mechanism

This study shows that mitochondrial repositioning and reorientation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii under low CO2 conditions is regulated by CIA5 and supports CO2 concentrating mechanism function.

Chloroplast Methyltransferase Homolog RMT2 is Involved in Photosystem I Biogenesis

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

Green Algae CO2 capture is powered by alternative electron pathways of photosynthesis

The paper quantifies the contribution of alternative electron pathways in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to sustain CO2 fixation, showing chloroplast-mitochondria interaction is the most efficient.

Chlamydomonas Mutants Null for Chloroplast Triose Phosphate Transporter3 are Metabolically Compromised and Light Sensitive

This study identifies CreTPT3 as a critical chloroplast transporter in Chlamydomonas, showing its role in metabolite transport, oxidative stress prevention, and subfunctionalization with CreTPT2.
