Abstract excerpt

Chlamydomonas flagella undergo a striking waveform conversion from an asymmetrical ciliary type to a symmetrical flagellar type when the cell is stimulated by intense light and the Ca2+ concentration within the flagellum is increased above approximately 10(-6) M. To see whether the central-pair/r...
