VOLUME 1 -- Introduction to Chlamydomonas and Its Laboratory Use -- By Elizabeth Harris (Duke University) -- Taxonomy, diversity and distribution of Chlamydomonas species -- History of Chlamydomonas as a laboratory organism -- Cell architecture -- The vegetative cell cycle, including culture conditions and methods -- The sexual cycle -- Overview of the nuclear genome -- Genetic analysis -- The molecular toolkit, including transformation, gene expression, etc. -- Resources for the investigator and for use of Chlamydomonas in teaching -- VOLUME 2 -- Organellar and Metabolic Processes -- Edited By David Stern (Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research) -- Biogenesis of chloroplasts and mitochondria -- Photosynthesis -- Respiration -- Nitrogen assimilation -- Starch biosynthesis -- Sulfur metabolism -- Rsponse to heavy metals -- Hydrogen production -- VOLUME 3 -- Cell Motility and Behavior -- Edited by George Witman (University of Massachusetts Medical School) -- Basal bodies -- Basal body-associated structures -- Flagellar assembly and length control -- Intraflagellar transport -- Flagellar axoneme -- Flagellar membrane -- Tactic responses (phototaxis, chemotaxis) and mechanoreception.

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (C. reinhardtii) is a unicellular green alga whose simple life cycle and ease of growth and manipulation for genetic analysis have made it a popular organism for research in diverse areas of cell biology and genetics. C. reinhardtii is important to a variety o research from studies of flagellar biogenesis and function that are highly relevant to medical research on sperm motility and ciliary function to work on chloroplast biogenesis and photosynthesis with critical importance for agriculture. In recent years it has also proved to be an outstanding model for investigation of signal transduction, rhodopsin-based vision, and the evolution of sexual processes. The Chlamydomonas Sourcebook, published in 1989 by Academic Press, summarized the development of this alga as a laboratory system beginning in the 1940s, reviewed each major research area, as well as providing methods for growth, genetic analysis, and preparation of cellular fractions. Since the first edition published in 1989, Chlamydomonas research has grown significantly. This revised three-volume set which includes the Sourcebook, Chlamydomonas Metabolic Processes, and Chlamydomonas Motility and Taxis Responses provides the most comprehensive reference for this important research organism. The reference retains historical material, culture methods and some illustrations from the original book while adding molecular techniques, analysis of the recently sequenced genome, and reviews of the current status of the diverse fields in which Chlamydomonas is used as a model organism. * Expanded revision of gold standard reference * Includes latest advances in research including completion of the genome * Provides broad perspective with for studies in cell and molecular biology, genetics, plant physiology and related fields.
