Abstract

Strains of Chlamydomonas allensworthii Starr, Marner and Jaenike isolated from 13 sites worldwide in distribution were compared to assess the congruity of DNA similarity, sexual behavior and pheromone response type. The isolates fall into two pheromone response categories. One of these includes isolates of widespread distribution in the United States, and all appear to be capable of forming zygotes inter se. The second group is larger and more complex, encompassing four mating groups as defined by zygote formation. Comparison of DNA sequences (internal transcribed spacers 1 and 2 of the nuclear rDNA repeats) fully supports the same subdivision of the isolates. Both selfing and outbreeding clones were among the isolates. The possibility that other Volvocales species might respond to these same pheromones remains to be tested.
