Abstract excerpt
The unicellular, green flagellate wild-type Euglena gracilis(strain Z) and its colorless phototaxis-mutant strains as well as the non-photosynthetic close relative, Astasia longa, possess several genes of the photoactivated adenylyl cyclase (PAC) family. The corresponding gene products were found to be responsible for step-up (but not step-down) photophobic responses as well as both positive and negative...
