The Chlamydomonas eustigma NIES-2499 genome sequence and gene models have not been determined by the JGI, but were downloaded from NCBI on October 31, 2019. Please note that this copy of the genome is not maintained by NCBI and is therefore not automatically updated. In order to allow comparative analyses with other algal genomes sequenced by the JGI, a copy of this genome is incorporated into PhycoCosm. The JGI Annotation Pipeline was used to add functional annotation to this genome.
Chlamydomonas eustigma NIES-2499
Chlamydomonas eustigma NIES-2499 (Archaeplastida, Viridiplantae, Phylum Chlorophyta, Class Chlorophyceae) is a green microalga isolated from acid mine drainage in Yokote, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, predominantly in association with acidophilic mosses. Comparative genomic analyses with the neutrophilic Chlamydomonas reinhardtii model green alga and other extremophile red algae have provided insights into adaptation to acidic environments.
