Action spectra for amoebal positive and negative phototaxis of the cellular slime mold, Dictyostelium discoideum have been determined between 350 nm and 650 nm for the wild type strain NC 4, the axenic mutant strain AX 2, the parental mutant strain X 22 as well as the cobalt resistant ...
Figure 5.Vertebrate photopigments are all based upon a common plan, consisting of an opsin protein with a vitamin A-based retinal chromophore. (a) Absorption of a photon of light by the retinal chomophore results in isomerization from the 11-cisto the all-transconfiguration. (b) Retinal is ...

Photophobia (light avoidance) is a behavioural aversion to an increase in light intensity (Diehn et al.1977; Nultsch and Häder1988). When exposed to brighter light, a photophobic animal may respond, often immediately, by a muscular body contraction, burst of movement or the arrest of ciliar...

Broadly classified, wounds are of two different kinds, namely, open and closed wounds. Answer and Explanation: The correct option is (a). Bacteria thriving in punctured wounds are likely to be aerobes such as Staphylococcus aur...

Amoebae of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum (strain AX2) produce a pigment with an absorption spectrum that closely resembles the action spectrum for phototaxis. The protein-pigment complex was isolated and purified by sucrose gradient centrifugation, fast protein liquid chromatography (...
White light at ≥10 4 μW cm −2 caused amoebas of Dictyostelium discoideum to move out of light traps which were projected onto the amoebas on an agar substratum. An action spectrum calculated from the zero transition between accumulation in response to low light intensities and dispersal ...
