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中研究光合作用、鞭毛发育和细胞生物学其他方面的一个长期存在的模型系统。最近，作为一种快速生长的光合真核生物，衣原体作为生物质和可再生能源的来源吸引了大量的兴趣。明尼苏达大学双城分校设有衣原体资源中心（CRC），其效用通过核，叶绿体和线粒体基因组序列的可用性得到增强。CRC有大量的突变体和一个完整的遗传图谱链接到分子图谱。PI担任CRC的新主任，在其运营的第30个年头，该库存收集中心将继续作为中心储存库，接收、编目、保存和分发野生型和突变型C培养物。莱因哈德氏菌该中心将继续维护和分发用于衣原体研究的分子工具，包括衣原体核、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，包括高中和大学生物课实验的试剂、菌株和说明。一个网站[http://www.chlamy.org]将提供收藏的所有文化的描述，遗传基因座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。
