Abstract

In this experiment, to be flown on the BION-10 satellite in 1992, the effects of microgravity on cell division in the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas will be studied. Cell division is the result of an integrated action of the plasma membrane and the cortical cytoskeleton. In particular, there is a precise spatial relationship between the .... (full text)
