Abstract excerpt
We investigated the wavelength dependence and photon-fluence rate response relationship for phototaxis of wild-type and a cyanobacterial phytochrome 2 (cph2) mutant in cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Compared to wild-type, the cph2 mutant exhibited maximal activity for positive phototaxis at the near-UV spectral range. Two cysteine to serine substitutions in two chromophore-binding domains showed a...
