Abstract excerpt
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii can use their flagella for two distinct types of movement: swimming through liquid or gliding on a solid substrate. Cells switching from swimming to gliding motility undergo a reversible flagellar quiescence. This phenomenon appears to involve the outer dynein arms, since mutants having altered outer arm beta and gamma dyneins (sup-pf-1 and sup-pf-2) show a diminished ability to quiesce....
