How abiotic stress-induced socialization leads to the formation of massive and protective multicellular structures in Chlamydomonas

We performed a quantitative proteomic analysis by comparing the culture media of 6 socializer (saz) mutants that aggregate spontaneously, with that of the wild type. For each strain, five biological replicates were prepared and analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry. In our seven samples we identified a total of 763 proteins in the culture medium (two proteomic files).
We analyzed the transcriptome of the same six saz mutants in comparison with the wild type, using mRNA Illumina High-Sequencing technology. During this analysis, a total of 16,829 transcripts were detected and quantified, (RNA-Seq file).
