Abstract
Abstract This chapter deals with the photoreception strategy of microorganisms belonging to different phyla, such as Leptolyngbya, Euglena, Ochromonas, Pelvetia , which, according to the author's opinion use rhodopsin-like proteins. A brief introduction on the theoretical assumptions of the functioning of these proteins along with a survey of their distribution in nature precedes the description of the four cases. For each organism, the main characteristics of its photobehavior and the experiments which have strengthened the hypothesis of the presence of rhodopsin-like proteins are outlined.
