U11D8

U11D8 is a strain of *Chlamydomonas reinhardtii*, a single-celled green alga widely used as a model organism in biological research. This specific strain is known for its utility in studying photosynthesis, flagellar motility, and various aspects of cell biology. U11D8 is a derivative of the standard laboratory strain CC-125. Its genetic background and specific phenotypic characteristics make it suitable for experiments investigating gene function, protein interactions, and cellular responses to environmental changes. Researchers often employ U11D8 for genetic complementation studies and for investigating pathways involved in energy production and cellular signaling. Its ease of cultivation in standard laboratory conditions further contributes to its widespread use in academic and research settings. The strain is readily available from the Chlamydomonas Resource Center, facilitating its accessibility for scientific inquiry. Investigations utilizing U11D8 have contributed significantly to our understanding of eukaryotic cell biology and photosynthetic processes.
