A group of 31 mutants of C. reinhardtii with altered phototactic responses was isolated. Growth of all the mutants was normal, and with 1 exception they had no gross morphological aberrations. One mutant produced supernumerary flagella. The mutants can be subdivided into 5 phenotypic classes on the basis of their abnormal responses: slow positive, no response, slow negative, fast negative and variable. Random motility of the mutants was characterized. About half were indistinguishable from wild type; the others exhibited jerky or twirly movements instead of relatively straight paths. These mutants can be used for genetic and biochemical studies of the cellular basis of phototaxis.
