A staining method for the detection of impaired photosynthetic electron transport in green algae strains.
The utilization of strain CW 15 of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii enables the biochemical staining test for characterizing a defective photosynthetic electron-transport chain on colonies grown on agar medium. It may be used in order to screen for mutants specifically blocked in different parts of the transport chain.
