PHOTOTROPISM OF COPROPHILOUS ZYGOMYCETES
Annual Review of Biophysics and Bioengineering, 1977Biological cells sense and react to their environment. This is as true for a neuron in the brain as for a bacterium in the intestine or a coprophilous Zygomycete on dung. To understand these cells on a molecular level scientists have choosen particu lar systems for extensive study. Such a system must respond to measurable stimuli, give clear responses,

Blue light is used as a source of information on the environment by all kind of living beings, from microbes to animals. The Zygomycete fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus is notorious for the variety of responses to blue light, various invisible radiations, and other stimuli. The copious literature on the behaviour of Phycomyces accumulated over more than

Land plants cope with the same environmental challenges as animals but have the added complication of being fixed to the ground. Thus, adaptability to variable environmental circumstances is essential to plant survival and fitness. A consequence of this condition is the necessity of plants to possess sophisticated sensors to adjust to changes.

Electrophysiology and Phototropism
2006Plants continually gather information about their environment. The conduction of bioelectrochemical excitation is a fundamental property of living organisms. Cells, tissues, and organs transmit electrochemical signals over short and long distances. The sensitive membranes in phloem cells facilitate the passage of electrical excitations in the form of ...

Studies on phototropic equilibrium and phototropic-geotropic equilibrium in phycomyces
1958Phototropic equilibrium was studied in Stage IV sporangiophores of Phycomyces blakesleeanus by illuminating specimens simultaneously from various directions with two beams of light. The dependence of the equilibrium position upon the angle between the light beams and upon their intensities was investigated and shown to be given by a simple empirical ...

Phototropism, the curvature of a growing part of a plant or fungus toward or away from light, is a well known, but not particularly well understood, phenomenon. The general topic of phototropism has been extensively reviewed (Foster, 1977; Dennison, 1979; Hertel, 1980; Gressel and Horwitz, 1982; Pohl and Russo, 1984; Briggs and Baskin, 1988; Firn, 1990;
