Phototaxis in Cyanobacteria: From Mutants to Models of Collective Behavior.

mBio - 21 Dec 2021

Menon Shakti N, Varuni P, Bunbury Freddy, Bhaya Devaki, Menon Gautam I

Abstract excerpt

Cyanobacteria rely on photosynthesis, and thus have evolved complex responses to light. These include phototaxis, the ability of cells to sense light direction and move towards or away from it. Analysis of mutants has demonstrated that phototaxis requires the coordination of multiple photoreceptors and signal transduction networks. The output of these networks is relayed to type IV pili (T4P) that attach to and...
