Abstract
The photomovement of flagellates provides us with excellent model systems for investigating sensory-transduction pathways. The responses to light are rapid and dramatic, and they show a fascinating degree of diversity. (See recent reviews by Forward, Hand, Feinleib, Lenci and Colombetti, Hader, Nultsch and Hader, Diehn; 1-7). After summarizing some general features of flagellate photo- responses, this chapter will examine the behavior of three flagellates that show diverse photomovement “strategies”: Euglena, Volvox and Chalmydomonas.
