Sulfate assimilation in eukaryotes: fusions, relocations and lateral transfers (2008)
Patron, Nicola J, Durnford, Dion G, Kopriva, Stanislav
Abstract Background The sulfate assimilation pathway is present in photosynthetic organisms, fungi, and many bacteria, providing reduced sulfur for the synthesis of cysteine and methionine and a...
A Rapid and Simple Bioassay Method for Herbicide Detection (2008)
Xiu-Qing Li, Alan Ng, Russell King, Dion G. Durnford
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a unicellular green alga, has been used in bioassay detection of a variety of toxic compounds such as pesticides and toxic metals, but mainly using liquid culture systems....
Koziol, Adam G., Durnford, Dion G.
Light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) are a superfamily of chlorophyll- and carotenoid-binding proteins that are responsible for the capture of light energy and its transfer to the photosynthetic...
Rogers, Matthew B, Watkins, Russell F, Harper, James T, Durnford, Dion G, Gray, Michael W, Keeling, Patrick J
Abstract Background Lateral gene transfer is increasingly invoked to explain phylogenetic results that conflict with our understanding of organismal relationships. In eukaryotes, the most common...

The plastid of Euglena gracilis was acquired secondarily through an endosymbiotic event with a eukaryotic green alga, and as a result, it is surrounded by a third membrane. This membrane complexity...
Rissler, Heather M., Durnford, Dion G.
Novel eukaryotic chlorophyll-carotenoid proteins have evolved at least twice following the origin of the plastid and include the widely distributed integral membrane light harvesting complexes (LHCs)...

Plastid Regulation of Lhcb1 Transcription in the Chlorophyte Alga Dunaliella tertiolecta1
Chen, Yi-Bu, Durnford, Dion G., Koblizek, Michal, Falkowski, Paul G.
We identify four novel DNA-binding complexes in the nuclear-encoded Lhcb1 promoter of the chlorophyte alga Dunaliella tertiolecta that are regulated by photosynthetic pathways in the plastid. The...

Tracing the Evolution of the Light-Harvesting Antennae in Chlorophyll a/b-Containing Organisms1[OA]
Koziol, Adam G., Borza, Tudor, Ishida, Ken-Ichiro, Keeling, Patrick, Lee, Robert W., Durnford, Dion G.
The light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) of land plants and green algae have essential roles in light capture and photoprotection. Though the functional diversity of the individual LHC proteins are well...
