Short-term Memory Effects in the Phototactic Behavior of Microalgae: Discussion and References | HackerNoon
Briefly

from Hackernoon1 week ago
The experiment demonstrated that C. reinhardtii’s phototactic behavior is influenced by recent illumination history, exhibiting a time-integration effect for closely spaced stimuli.

Data suggests a relaxation time of about 30 minutes is required for C. reinhardtii to revert to a basal state post-illumination, influencing its subsequent responses.

The proposed model incorporates a biochemical relaxation time-scale, explaining how the algae can integrate signals and respond differently to consecutive identical stimuli.

Experimental findings point towards a significant role of intracellular processes in shaping the phototactic response of C. reinhardtii, suggesting complex biochemical interactions.
