The FungEye project investigates the unique light perception organelle in the zoosporic fungus Blastocladiella emersonii. By reconstructing its 3D cell architecture and characterizing the associated protein network, the project aims to uncover the evolutionary history of this organelle and its potential applications in…
Light perception is one of the most important sources of information for life on Earth.
Its importance is such, that several microbial eukaryotic lineages independently evolved analogous sub-cellular ‘eye-structures’ to achieve a similar function.
In the microbial lineages we see a similar ‘recipe’ for these systems; a light occluding or refractory surface positioned next to an action potential-generating opsin rich membrane layer.
These systems represent one of the most spectacular cases of mul…
