Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii - History

History

The C. reinhardtii wild type laboratory strain c137 (mt+) originates from an isolate made near Amherst, Massachusetts, in 1945 by Gilbert M. Smith.

The species has been spelled several different ways because of different transliterations of the name from Russian: reinhardi, reinhardii and reinhardtii all refer to the same species, C. reinhardtii Dangeard.

    ... in America ... children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.
