The four-celled Volvocales green alga Tetrabaena socialis exhibits weak photobehavior and high-photoprotection ability
Photo-induced behavioral responses (photobehaviors) are crucial to the survival of motile phototrophic organisms in changing light conditions. Volvocine green algae are excellent model organisms for studying the regulatory mechanisms of photobehavior. We recently reported that unicellular Chlamydomo...
