Abstract excerpt
The unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas displays two distinct kinds of behavioral response to light: phototaxis, in which cells swim toward or away from the light source under constant illumination; and photophobic responses (also called stop responses or photoshock responses), in which cells transiently convert their flagellar waveform and swim backward upon sudden increase in light intensity. It has been...
