Abstract excerpt
Light regulates many developmental and physiological processes in a large number of organisms. The best-known light response in the fungus Mucor circinelloides is the biosynthesis of beta-carotene. Here, we show that M. circinelloides sporangiophores also respond to light, exhibiting a positive phototropism. Analysis of both responses to different light wavelengths within the visible spectrum demonstrated that...
