Strikingly different propulsive forces generated by different dynein-deficient mutants in viscous media.

Cell motility and the cytoskeleton - 1 Jan 1995

Minoura I, Kamiya R

Abstract excerpt

The propulsive force generated by Chlamydomonas mutants deficient in flagellar dynein was estimated from their swimming velocities in viscous media. The force produced by wild-type cells increased by 30-40% when viscosity was raised from 0.9 to 2 cP but decreased as viscosity was further raised above 6 cP. The biphasic dependence of force generation on viscosity was also observed in the mutant ida1, which lacks...
