Maximum production of gemmae and yellow pigment by Mycena citricolor occurred under a glass filter which transmitted near ultraviolet light (310–400 mμ) and infrared. Within the limits of test conditions involving four rather broad areas of the spectrum, gemmae formation decreased as wavelength of light increased. Optimum light intensity was between 20 and 160 ft-c. At 740 ft-c the optimum daily exposure time was 6 hours. Infected leaves of Coffee arabicz in the light produced lesions of limited size and having numerous gemmae, but, in the dark, lesion size was indeterminate and no gemmae were formed.

The effect of light on conidial development of a nonphotoinduced isolate of Helminthosporium oryzae was investigated. Near-ultraviolet light was not required for conidiophore induction, but conidial development was suppressed by blue light applied at a definite stage of conidiophore development, and the conidiophores were dedifferentiated into longer, slender aerial hyphae. Furthermore, the effect of blue light could be reversed by immediate exposure to near-ultraviolet light and the effects of these two spectral regions were alternatively reversible.Thus, it is concluded that a photosensitive system, called mycochrome, is involved in the conidial development of this fungus.

Cyanobacteria are Gram negative prokaryotes that are capable of oxygenic photosynthesis. Although there are many similarities between eukaryotes and cyanobacteria in electron transfer and phosphorylation during photosynthesis, there are two features of the photosynthetic apparatus in cyanobacteria which distinguishes them from plants. Cyanobacteria contain phycobiliproteins organized in phycobilisomes on the surface of photosynthetic membrane. Another difference is in the organization of the photosynthetic membranes. Instead of stacked thylakolds within a chloroplast envelope membrane, as seen In eukaryotes, IntracytopIasmlc membranes generally are arranged in three to six concentric layers. Environmental factors such as temperature, nutrition and light fluency can significantly affect the physiology and morphology of cells. The effect of light Intensity shifts on the ultrastructure of Internal membrane in Anabaena variabilis grown under controlled environmental conditions was examined. Since a major constituent of cyanobacterial thylakolds are lipids, the fatty acid content also was measured and correlated with uItrastructural changes. The regulation of fatty acid synthesis in cyanobacteria ultimately can be studied if the fatty acid content can be manipulated.
