The effects of the metabolic inhibitors KCN and SHAM on phototaxis and photophobic response in Amoeba proteus have been studied. Both drugs neither change amoebae photophobic response nor the phototactic reaction. The results indicate clearly that the negative phototactic orientation is not impaired by impediment of respiration thus it is not directly coupled to the differences in energy production in different parts of A. proteus body.
已对代谢抑制剂氰化钾（KCN）和水杨羟肟酸（SHAM）对大变形虫趋光性和避光反应的影响进行了研究。这两种药物既不改变变形虫的避光反应，也不改变其趋光反应。结果清楚地表明，呼吸受阻不会损害负趋光定向，因此它与大变形虫身体不同部位能量产生的差异没有直接关联。
