When the mutant was cultured under the white fluorescent lamp (̃4,800 lux), most cells had no flagella. However, when the cultures were put in the dark, flagellation occurred. Greater than 70% of the cells had flagella within 12-16 h after the transfer. The flagellar morphology varied from "rod-shape" (same as the wild-type flagella) to "disk-shape". The disk-shaped flagella had the axonemes which were curved into a loop within the swollen membrane. Hence, this mutant is called loop-1. Light-inhibition of flagellation was restored in the presence of 10 -5 M DCMU. The spectral dependency of the photo-inhibition of flagellation, determined using the Okazaki Large Spectrograph, showed maximal effectiveness at 400-420 nm and 600-680 nm. These results suggest that photosynthesis inhibits flagellation of loop-1 cells.}, pages = {399--401}, title = {Light inhibits flagellation in a chlamydomonas mutant}, volume = {31}, year = {1990} }
