Thirdly, under certain conditions, Chlamydomonas chloroplasts can be induced to elaborate functional photosynthetic membranes connected to the inner envelope membranes [109]. If thylakoid translocases are assembled in the inner envelope during chloroplast biogenesis, invaginations would begin to assemble ...

Initially, a spherically symmetric arrangement and orientation of identical biflagellated cells might appear to be an ideal configuration for a multicellular organism. A hypothetical 5000-celled, spheroidalChlamydomonas, however, would not be able to display any effective motility, not to mention phototax...
