Laser microbeam study of a rotary motor in termite flagellates. Evidence that the axostyle complex generates torque
A rotary motor in a termite flagellate continually turns the anterior part of the cell (head) in a clockwise direction. Previous descriptive observations implicated the noncontractile axostyle, which runs through the cell like a drive shaft, in the motile mechanism. This study demonstrates directly...
