Reversible Inhibition of Chloroplast Movement by Cytochalasin B in the Green Alga Mougeotia
Abstract
Light-oriented chloroplast movement is reversibly inhibited by cytochalasin B. The photoperception is not influenced by this inhibitor. These results support the assumption that contractile protein fibrils are essential for this intracellular movement.
