Abstract excerpt
Flagella of Chlamydomonas mutants lacking the central pair of microtubules or radial spokes do not beat; however, axonemes isolated from these mutants were found to display vigorous bending movements in the presence of ATP and various salts, sugars, alcohols, and other organic compounds. For example, about 15% of the total axonemes isolated from pf18, a mutant lacking the central pair, displayed beating in the...
