Abstract:Temperature is a critical factor for living organisms. Many microorganisms migrate toward preferable temperatures, and this behavior is called thermotaxis. In this study, the molecular and physiological bases for thermotaxis are examined in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. A mutant with knockout of a transient receptor potential (TRP) channel, trp2‐3, showed defective thermotaxis. The swimming velocity and ciliary beat frequency of wild‐type Chlamydomonas increase with temperature; however, this temperature‐dependen… Show more
