The putative photoreceptor for phototaxis, the paraflagellar body (PFB), in the flagellate Euglena gracilis is localized at the base of the major flagellum. Flagella were isolated from Euglena and from the closely related Astasia longa. In Euglena the PFB remains attached to the isolated flagella. S
The effects of the heavy metal ions copper, cadmium, mercury and lead on motility and photo-orientation have been assayed in the photosynthetic flagellate Euglena pcilis. The first three elements were tested in both shortterm and long-term experiments, but lead was only tested in short-term experim
## Abstract The progressive modification of the photoreceptor apparatus, induced by addition of streptomycin (SM) to cultures of darkβbleached __Euglena__, is correlated with the change of the photomotor response. One of the effects of drugtreatment is the reduction of carotenoid synthesis; the tot
