Chlamydomonas a genus of single-celled organisms within Kingdom Protista; Division Chlorophyta

Chlamydomonas: The unicellular green alga that is probably the closest living organism to the ancestor of green plants. It reproduces both asexually and sexually (two mating types).
Chlamydomonas reproduces sexually when growth conditions are unfavorable, a common process employed by many protists to withstand or outlast a deteriorating environment.

The Center for Human Genome Studies at Los Alamos National Laboratory has end sequenced over 75,000 BAC clones from Fugu, Ciona, Chlamydomonas and Human libraries to support whole genome shotgun sequencing and assembly efforts by the Joint Genome ...
Flagella work as whips pulling (as in Chlamydomonas or Halosphaera) or pushing (dinoflagellates, a group of single-celled Protista) the organism through the water.
microscopic, unicellular forms like Chlorella and Chlamydomonas
colonial forms like the filamentous Spirogyra
multicellular forms like Ulva, the sea lettuce.
Phytomastigophorea The protozoan class where members usually have chloroplasts; mainly autotrophic, some heterotrophic. Examples: Euglena, Volvox, Chlamydomonas.
phytophagous Organisms that feed on plants.
Basal bodies are anchored in their cytoplasmic locations by what is called a rootlet system in the cell. In some organisms, such as the unicellular Chlamydomonas, ...
rice, wheat, maize and soybean are also having their genomes sequenced, although some of these are more challenging because they have more than two haploid (n) sets of chromosomes, a condition known as polyploidy. The "Green Yeast" Chlamydomonas ...
