Fungal photobiology: a synopsis
Fungi respond and adapt to many environmental signals including light. The photobiology of fungi has been extensively investigated, but in recent years the identification of the first fungal photoreceptor, WC-1 in the ascomycete Neurospora crassa, and the discovery that similar photoreceptors are required for photoreception in other ascomycete, basidiomycete and zygomycete fungi has allowed the...
متن کاملToward a computational photobiology*
In this paper, we discuss the results of our recent studies on the molecular mechanism, which stand at the basis of the photochemical processes occurring in photobiological systems. These results are obtained using modern, robust, and fairly accurate high-level quantum chemical methods.
متن کاملLight Sensing in Aspergillus fumigatus Highlights the Case for Establishing New Models for Fungal Photobiology
Microbes inhabit diverse environmental locations, and many species need to shift their physiology between different niches. To do this effectively requires the accurate sensing of and response to the environment. For pathogens, exposure to light is one major change between a free-living saprophyte lifestyle and causation of disease within the host. However, how light may act as a signal to infl...
متن کاملAn Introduction to Photobiology
In this book Yves Le Grand tries to explain how all life, either directly or indirectly, depends upon light for its existence. He points out that it is a very rapid review of a large scientific discipline. It certainly is that. In some 170 pages the author attempts to cover such diverse subjects as the physics of light, vision, and bioluminescence. Although such topics as sunburn, light-influen...
متن کاملDiscovering electrophysiology in photobiology
The mini-review gives special attention to holistic approach and mechanisms of processes. The physical and chemical frames and background for visual perception and signaling are discussed. Perception of photons by retinal rod cells is described in more detail starting from photon absorption and culminating in ion currents. Dark noise and temperature-dependence of photocurrents in photoreceptor ...
