For many years, the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been an excellent model system for studying plant-specific processes, in particular photosynthesis. Because C. reinhardtii can be grown heterotrophically using acetate as a carbon source, genes required for photosynthesis can be made dispensible
