SYNOPSIS. The flagellar behavior of the colonial Volvox aureus Ehrbg. was examined by placing 1.01 μ polystyrene particles in suspension with Volvox, and recording particle movement photomicrographically. When directional light stimulation was given, flagellar activity ceased in the anterior cells of the stimulated side. Such responses create unequal driving forces on the 2 sides of the colony, so that the colony turns toward the stimulated side. Dose response studies indicated a photoresponse gradient from front to rear in the colony, anterior cells being most responsive. The mechanism of gradient formation has yet to be determined.
