Figure 1From: Stable nuclear transformation of Eudorina elegansThe wild-type phenotype of E. elegans. A vegetatively grown spheroid of E. elegans with ~32 biflagellate cells at the surface of the organism is shown. Each round-shaped cell contains a single large, cup-shaped chloroplast. Most of the spheroid volume consists of a complex but transparent glycoprotein-rich extracellular matrix that holds all of the cells in place.Back to article page
