Abstract
SUMMARY: A new homothallic variety of Chlamydomonas moewusii Gerloff var. monoica is described. When first isolated, the alga exhibited a very strong mating reaction (80–90% zygotes on 2 wk BBM agar slants), but after 2 mo in axenic culture, the reaction was significantly reduced in intensity. Attempts were made to restore the initial mating intensity by varying environmental conditions, but met with limited success. The alga did not grow heterotrophically in carbon‐supplemented BBM medium.Keywords
