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.

莱茵衣藻一直是生物科学研究光合作用、鞭毛发育和细胞生物学其他方面的长期模型系统。近年来，衣藻作为一种快速生长的光合真核生物，作为生物质和可再生能源的来源引起了人们的极大兴趣。明尼苏达大学双城分校设有衣藻资源中心 (CRC)，其实用性因核、叶绿体和线粒体基因组序列的可用性而得到增强。 CRC拥有大量突变体和与分子图谱相关的完整遗传图谱。 PI 担任 CRC 的新任主任，在其运营 30 周年之际，该种群收集中心将继续作为接收、编目、保存和分发莱茵衣藻野生型和突变体培养物的中央存储库。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、叶绿体和线粒体基因的基因组和 cDNA 克隆，以及 cDNA 文库。该中心将继续分发教学包，其中包括高中和大学生物课实验所需的试剂、菌株和说明书。网站 [http://www.chlamy.org] 将提供馆藏中所有文化的描述、遗传位点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。
