The preparation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is crucial for maintaining motility, ensuring responsiveness to light, and minimizing cell adhesion during experimental procedures.
Through systematic centrifugation steps, the team enhanced the overall quality of the algal cultures, ensuring a concentrated solution of viable, motile cells ready for experimentation.
Culturing conditions, including light cycles and specific growth temperatures, were meticulously controlled, allowing the researchers to achieve maximum motile cell density within just three days.
The research utilized polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to create shallow cylindrical wells, which formed the basis of the experimental setup, facilitating the study of algal motility.
