Phycomyces: Electrical Response to Light Stimuli 1

Mary Ann Mogus a, Jerome J Wolken a
PMCID: PMC543273  PMID: 16658735

Abstract

Electrical signals have been detected in response to light excitation of the fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus. These signals are related to the wavelength and intensity of the stimulus and the growth stage of the fungus. A relationship between the signals and the possible photoreceptor-pigment system is explored.
