Exogenous 3',5'-cyclic AMP in physiological concentrations inhibits the phototropic bending of Vauckeria geminata without affecting growth. Related substances known to change the intracellular cyclic AMP level also alter phototropic sensitivity. This indicates that the steering process (i.e., initial phototropic response) is separate from growth itself. Cyclic AMP extracted from this alga amounted to 0.2-0.3 nmole per g fresh weight, or about 3 μM on a cytoplasm volume basis. This value coincides with expected results from experiments with exogenous cyclic AMP. The results suggest that endogenous cyclic AMP may play an essential role in the gain-controlling process of phototropism.
