β¦ Synopsis
We have investigated whether the expression of carbonic anhydrase genes (Cahl and Cah2) is regulated by a circadian clock in Chlamydomonas. When cells were grown in ordinary air under 12 h light/12 h dark (LD) cycles, the levels of the Cah2 mRNA hardly altered during the cycles, while the Cahl mRNA showed a strong diurnal rhythm. The rhythm of about 24 h continued at least 3 days even under continuous light. Temperature compensation of the rhythm was demonstrated, using cultures maintained at 16, 22, and 28 Β°C. These results indicate that the abundance of the Cahl transcript is controlled by a circadian clock.

We have obtained five cDNA clones which are complementary to transcripts that accumulate specifically during the early stage of zygote formation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Based on the time-course of transcript accumulation of their corresponding genes, these clones were classified into two group
