Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, an Algal Model in the Nitrogen Cycle
Bellido Pedraza, Carmen Mª; Calatrava, Victoria; Sanz-Luque, Emanuel; Tejada Jiménez, M.; Llamas Azúa, Ángel; Plouviez, Maxence; Guieysse, Benoit; Fernández, Emilio; Galván Cejudo, Aurora (MDPI, 2020)Nitrogen (N) is an essential constituent of all living organisms and the main limiting macronutrient. Even when dinitrogen gas is the most abundant form of N, it can only be used by fixing bacteria but is inaccessible to ... -
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii—A reference microorganism for Eukaryotic Molybdenum metabolism
Tejada-Jimenez, M.; León-MIranda, Esperanza; Llamas Azúa, Ángel (MDPI, 2023)Molybdenum (Mo) is vital for the activity of a small but essential group of enzymes called molybdoenzymes. So far, specifically five molybdoenzymes have been discovered in eukaryotes: nitrate reductase, sulfite oxidase, ... -
¿Es posible hacer divertido y ameno el estudio de la Bioquímica?: La gamificación para aprender
Llamas Azúa, Ángel; Tejada Jiménez, M.; González-Ballester, David; Fernández Reyes, Emilio (UCOPress, 2019)La Gamificación es el empleo de mecánicas de juego con el fin de potenciar la motivación, la concentración, el esfuerzo y otros valores positivos comunes a todos los juegos. Se trata de una nueva y poderosa estrategia para ... -
From the Eukaryotic Molybdenum Cofactor Biosynthesis to the Moonlighting Enzyme mARC
Tejada Jiménez, M.; Chamizo-Ampudia, Alejandro; Calatrava, Victoria; Galván Cejudo, Aurora; Fernández Reyes, Emilio; Llamas Azúa, Ángel (MDPI, 2018)All eukaryotic molybdenum (Mo) enzymes contain in their active site a Mo Cofactor (Moco), which is formed by a tricyclic pyranopterin with a dithiolene chelating the Mo atom. Here, the eukaryotic Moco biosynthetic pathway ... -
Identification of the MAPK Cascade and its Relationship with Nitrogen Metabolism in the Green Alga Chlamydomonasreinhardtii
Gómez-Osuna, Aitor; Calatrava, Victoria; Galván Cejudo, Aurora; Fernández, Emilio; Llamas Azúa, Ángel (MDPI, 2020)The mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs) form part of a signaling cascade through phosphorylation reactions conserved in all eukaryotic organisms. The MAPK cascades are mainly composed by threeproteins, MAPKKKs, MAPKKs ... -
Microalgal and nitrogen-fixing bacterial consortia: from interaction to biotechnological potential
Llamas Azúa, Ángel; León-MIranda, Esperanza; Tejada-Jimenez, M. (MDPI, 2023)Microalgae are used in various biotechnological processes, such as biofuel production due to their high biomass yields, agriculture as biofertilizers, production of high-value-added products, decontamination of wastewater, ... -
Nitrous Oxide Emissions from Nitrite Are Highly Dependent on Nitrate Reductase in the Microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Bellido Pedraza, Carmen Mª; Calatrava, Victoria; Llamas Azúa, Ángel; Fernández, Emilio; Sanz-Luque, Emanuel; Galván Cejudo, Aurora (MDPI, 2022)Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a powerful greenhouse gas and an ozone-depleting compound whose synthesis and release have traditionally been ascribed to bacteria and fungi. Although plants and microalgae have been proposed as N2O ... -
Role of Nitrate Reductase in NO Production in Photosynthetic Eukaryotes
Tejada Jiménez, M.; Llamas Azúa, Ángel; Galván Cejudo, Aurora; Fernández Reyes, Emilio (MDPI, 2019)Nitric oxide is a gaseous secondary messenger that is critical for proper cell signaling and plant survival when exposed to stress. Nitric oxide (NO) synthesis in plants, under standard phototrophic oxygenic conditions, ... -
Understanding nitrate assimilation and its regulation in microalgae
Sanz-Luque, Emanuel; Chamizo-Ampudia, Alejandro; Llamas Azúa, Ángel; Galván Cejudo, Aurora; Fernández Reyes, Emilio (Frontiers, 2015)Nitrate assimilation is a key process for nitrogen (N) acquisition in green microalgae. Among Chlorophyte algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has resulted to be a good model system to unravel important facts of this process, ...
