The cyanobacterial phytochrome Cph2 inhibits phototaxis towards blue light.

Molecular microbiology - 1 May 2002

Wilde Annegret, Fiedler Brita, Börner Thomas

Abstract excerpt

We analysed the effects of inactivation of the phytochrome genes cph1 and cph2 on the phototactic migration of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 under different light qualities. Motility towards white, green, red and far red light was not altered in several independently raised cph1, cph2 and cph1/cph2 double mutants. Blue light (lambda = 400-500 nm) did not induce motility in wild-type and cph1...
