Phenotype: impaired motility

This mutant was isolated by nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of cells grown in synchronous cultures (12:12 light-dark), at a time approximately 2 hours into the dark cycle. It has a temperature-conditional defect in flagellar function. Cells resemble wild type at permissive temperature (20 degrees) but when shifted to 32 degrees, the flagella beat in an erratic, uncoordinated manner. Recovery of wild-type function requires cell division or flagellar regeneration at the permissive temperature.
