Abstract excerpt
We have characterized a novel, temperature-sensitive mutation affecting motility in Tetrahymena thermophila. Mutants grew and divided normally at the restrictive temperature (38 degrees C), but became nonmotile. Scanning electron microscopic analysis indicated that nonmotile mutants contained the normal number of cilia and that the cilia were of normal length. Transmission electron microscopic analysis indicated...
