Color-specific Conditioning Effects Due to Both Orange and Blue Stimuli Are Observed in a Halobacterium salinarum Strain Devoid of Putative Methylatable Sites on HtrI¶
Abstract:Behavioral responses of Halobacterium salinarum appear as changes in the frequency of motion reversals. Turning on orange light decreases the reversal frequency, whereas blue light induces reversals. Light pulses normally induce the same response as step-up stimuli. However, anomalous behavioral reactions, including inverse responses, are seen when stimuli are applied in sequence. The occurrence of a prior stimulus is conditioning for successive stimulation on a time scale of the same order of adaptational pro… Show more
