Dear netters!
In amoebas and other scarcely pigmented Protozoa, there is a
well known diffuse reaction to light in which the entire organism, in the
absence of any apparent specialization, responds by what has been
understood as a sol-gel alteration of its cytoplasm, or cytoskeletal
changes.
It is also well known that, outside protistologic research, the subject
gave birth to non-conventional speculations, in which I am not interested.
Would any of you direct me to some serious review of the biophysical
and protistological lore, or commenting in the list how could such
phototropic reaction is thought to be physiologically achieved?
I thank very much in advance your collaboration!
Greetings,
Mariela
