New Photoresponses of Phycomyces [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1973 The influence of light on asexual fruiting and mycelial growth of Phycomyces blakesleeanus Burgeff was studied by means of fruiting body counts and size measurements in cultures on solid media under varied incubation conditions. Five types of photoresponses were shown by ATCC Strain 8743a: (a) photoinduction of giant sporangiophores; (b) interference ...

Photopolarization of Fucus zygotes is determined by time sensitive vectorial addition of environmental cues during axis amplification [PDF]
, 2015 Fucoid zygotes have been extensively used to study cell polarization and asymmetrical cell division. Fertilized eggs are responsive to different environmental cues (e.g., light, gravity) for a long period before the polarity is fixed and the cells ...

A photoresponsive glycosidase mimic
Chemical Communications, 2014 Azobenzene-3,3'-dicarboxylic acid exists in photoisomerizable (E) and (Z)-forms. Deprotonation of the carboxylic acid groups from the (E)-form occurs simultaneously, whereas in the (Z)-form it occurs in a stepwise fashion. The mono anionic form of the (Z)-isomer acts as a glycosidase mimic that proceeds through a general acid-general base catalytic ...

Halogen bonding stabilizes a cis-azobenzene derivative in the solid state: A crystallographic study [PDF]
, 2017 Crystals of trans- and cis-isomers of a fluorinated azobenzene derivative have been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The presence of F atoms on the aromatic core of the azobenzene increases the lifetime of the metastable ...
