The Chlamydomonas Sourcebook : a Comprehensive Guide to Biology and Laboratory Use.
The green alga Chlamydomonas is widely used as an experimental model system for studies in cellular and molecular biology, and in particular plant molecular biology. This book is the only single modern compendium of information on its biology and in particular its molecular biology and genetics. Inc...
