Journal of Cell Science, 2016 Leishmania promastigote parasites have a flagellum, which protrudes from the flagellar pocket at the cell anterior, yet, surprisingly, have homologs of many flagellum attachment zone (FAZ) proteins – proteins used in the related Trypanosoma species to ...

Structure and behaviour of the sperm terminal filament [PDF]
, 1982 Light- and electron-microscopic observations of Ciona and Lytechinus spermatozoa show a thin terminal filament at the distal end. The terminal filament is 5-6 microns long and contains the two central microtubules and a variable number of A-tubule ...

Switching of swimming modes in Magnetospirillium gryphiswaldense [PDF]
, 2013 The microaerophilic magnetotactic bacterium Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense swims along magnetic field lines using a single flagellum at each cell pole. It is believed that this magnetotactic behavior enables cells to seek optimal oxygen concentration with maximal efficiency. We analyse the trajectories of swimming M. gryphiswaldense cells in external

Flagellum inheritance in Trypanosoma brucei requires a kinetoplastid-specific protein phosphatase
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2018 Trypanosoma brucei causes sleeping sickness in humans and nagana in cattle in sub-Saharan Africa and alternates between its mammalian hosts and its insect vector, the tsetse fly. T.

The efficiency of propulsion by a rotating flagellum [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1997 [At very low Reynolds number, the regime in which fluid dynamics is governed by Stokes equations, a helix that translates along its axis under an external force but without an external torque will necessarily rotate. By the linearity of the Stokes equations, the same helix that is caused to rotate due to an external torque will necessarily ...

Thermodynamic Aspects of Flagellar Activity [PDF]
, 1967 1. The frequencies of the beat of cilia and flagella from various organisms have been determined at temperatures in the range 5-35°C. 2. Values of the activation enthalpy (ΔH{ddagger}, kcal./mole) and activation entropy (ΔS{ddagger}, e.u.) derived ...

Cell body rocking is a dominant mechanism for flagellar synchronization in a swimming alga
, 2013 The unicellular green algae Chlamydomonas swims with two flagella, which can synchronize their beat. Synchronized beating is required to swim both fast and straight.

Alternative mechanism for bacteriophage adsorption to the motile bacterium Caulobacter crescentus [PDF]
, 2011 2D and 3D cryo-electron microscopy, together with adsorption kinetics assays of ϕCb13 and ϕCbK phage-infected Caulobacter crescentus, provides insight into the mechanisms of infection.

Movement of the Flagella of Polytoma Uvella [PDF]
, 1963 1. Dark-field photographic records of the wave patterns of moving flagella have been made using multiple-flash exposures at flash rates of up to 50 per sec.
