Chlamydomonas is a genus of green alga. They are unicellular flagellates. Chlamydomonas is used as a model organism for molecular biology, especially studies of flagellar motility and chloroplast dynamics, biogenesis, and genetics. One of the many striking features of Chlamydomonas is that it contains ion channels that are directly activated by light, such as channelrhodopsin.

Ion channels are pore-forming proteins that help to establish and control the small voltage gradient that exists across the plasma membrane of all living cells (see cell potential) by allowing the flow of ions down their electrochemical gradient. ...

Chlamydomonas mating (636 words)
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a unicellular eukaryote, is an attractive system for probing the nature of the intercellular interactions leading to gamete fusion (fertilization).
Chlamydomonas, the mating structures also appear to be covered with a glycoprotein that is involved in the adhesion of these gametes.
Chlamydomonas seems to have retained its primitive state and allows one to begin to understand some of the events involved in fertilization in an organism amenable to genetic analysis.
