ATP reactivation of the rotary axostyle in termite flagellates: effects of dynein ATPase inhibitors

The anterior end or head of a devescovinid flagellate from termites continually rotates in a clockwise direction relative to the rest of the cell. Previous laser microbeam experiments showed that rotational motility is caused by a noncontractile axostyle complex which runs from the head through the...
