Molecular sensory physiology of Euglena.
After a short description of the motile physiology of Euglena gracilis the responses to light stimulation are analyzed and a new nomenclature is proposed concerning flagellar motility variations. A discussion follows about the characteristics of the photoreceptive system of Euglena and about the flavinic nature of its phototactic pigments.
