The protein expression of Chlamydomonas responds to norflurazon in both treated and non-treated conditions.

Microalgae, particularly Chlamydomonas, produce valuable pigments like chlorophylls and carotenoids for industrial applications while demonstrating potential in bioremediation. This study employs proteomics to analyze protein expression patterns between norflurazon-resistant and non-resistant Chlamydomonas strains. The investigation aims to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying herbicide resistance, focusing on differential protein expression when exposed to norflurazon, a commonly used herbicide in weed control. This research could provide insights into both bioremediation capabilities and herbicide resistance mechanisms in microalgae.
