Abstract
Blue light is used as a source of information on the environment by all kind of living beings, from microbes to animals. The Zygomycete fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus is notorious for the variety of responses to blue light, various invisible radiations, and other stimuli. The copious literature on the behaviour of Phycomyces accumulated over more than a century was critically examined in Bergman et al. (1969) and Cerdá-Olmedo and Lipson (1987). Galland (1990) updated and compared knowledge on Phycomyces and plant phototropism. We will discuss here only the aspects that have progressed in the last five years.
This review is dedicated to Prof. Horst Senger on his 65th birthday.
