Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been a long standing model system in the biological sciences for studies of photosynthesis, flagellar development and other aspects of cell biology. Recently, as a fast-growing, photosynthetic eukaryote, Chlamydomonas has attracted a great deal of interest as a source of biomass and renewable energy. University of Minnesota-Twin Cities houses the Chlamydomonas Resource Center (CRC) and its utility is enhanced by the availability of the sequence of the nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes. CRC has a large collection of mutants and a complete genetic map linked to the molecular map. The PI serves as the new Director of CRC and, in its 30th year of operation, this stock collection center will continue to act as the central repository to receive, catalogue, preserve and distribute wild type and mutant cultures of C. reinhardtii. The Center will continue to maintain and distribute molecular tools for Chlamydomonas research, including genomic and cDNA clones of Chlamydomonas nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial genes, and cDNA libraries. The Center will continue to distribute teaching kits, with reagents, strains and instructions for high school and beginning college biology class experiments. A web site [http://www.chlamy.org] will provide descriptions of all cultures in the collection, historical information and reference material on genetic loci and mutant alleles, genetic and molecular maps, and an extensive bibliography.

莱茵衣藻是生物科学中研究光合作用、鞭毛发育等细胞生物学方面的一个长期模型系统。近年来，衣藻作为一种生长迅速、光合作用强的真核生物，作为生物质和可再生能源的来源引起了人们极大的兴趣。明尼苏达大学双子城分校是衣藻资源中心(CRC)的所在地，其实用性因核、叶绿体和线粒体基因组序列的可获得性而得到加强。CRC有大量的突变体和与分子图谱相关联的完整的遗传图谱。该中心将继续作为中央资料库，接收、编目、保存和分发野生和突变的莱茵哈迪氏杆菌培养物。该中心将继续维护和分发衣藻研究的分子工具，包括衣藻核基因组和cDNA克隆、叶绿体和线粒体基因以及cDNA库。该中心将继续分发教材包，包括高中和大学开始的生物课实验的试剂、菌株和说明。网站[http://www.chlamy.org]将提供收藏中所有文化的描述、关于遗传基因和突变等位基因的历史信息和参考材料、遗传和分子图谱以及广泛的参考书目。
