ISOLATION OF CHLOROPLAST ENVELOPES FROM DUNALIELLA-TERTIOLECTA

Techniques have been developed to obtain Dunaliella chloroplasts and t heir outer and inner envelopes in high yield. With purified envelopes, we have identified two integral membrane proteins that are specifical ly induced by low CO2. These two proteins are located in the inner env elope, which is the proposed site for the active dissolved inorganic c arbon transporter in unicellular green algae.
