Description: 3.25 in. x 4 in. Lantern Slides
Chlamydomonas, a single-cell alga, was extensively used in the Siekvevitz/Palade laboratories at the Rockefeller to study chloroplast membrane biogenesis. These organisms could be grown in large cultures in the dark then, when exposed to light, rapidly and synchronously developed chloroplasts. "Clammys" also grew freely in our buffer and distilled water jugs in all of the labs!
