Analysis of cell vibration for assessing axonemal motility in Chlamydomonas.

Abstract excerpt

Flagellar mutants of Chlamydomonas have greatly contributed to our understanding of the function of axonemes and axonemal dyneins. An important step in studying mutants is to correlate the molecular and structural defects in the axoneme with motility. This is not always easy, however, partly because it is often necessary to quantify axonemal motility by measuring the cell's swimming velocity, the flagellar beat...
