Las algas, formando parte de la base de la cadena trófica de ecosistemas marinos y de agua dulce, son clave para la vida acuática. Estos organismos fotosintéticos, sometidos a fluctuaciones constantes de disponibilidad ...

Background: Currently, hydrogen fuel is derived mainly from fossil fuels, but there is an increasing interest in clean and sustainable technologies for hydrogen production. In this context, the ability of some photosynthetic ...

Nitrogen assimilation and metabolism are essential processes for all living organisms, yet there is still much to be learnt on how they are regulated. The use of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a model system has been ...

Para promover la producción de H2 por Chlamydomonas se utilizan normalmente condiciones de deficiencia nutricional. En esta Tesis se describe la producción sostenida de H2 por Chlamydomonas en medio de cultivo rico gracias ...

Para Chlamydomonas el amonio es la fuente de nitrógeno inorgánico preferente debido a su estado reducido y al menor coste energético que supone su asimilación. Cuando el amonio está presente en el medio, la ruta ...

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 ...

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 ...

The mARC (mitochondrial Amidoxime Reducing Component) proteins are recently discovered molybdenum (Mo) Cofactor containing enzymes. They are involved in the reduction of several N-hydroxylated compounds (NHC) and nitrite. ...

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, ...
