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 type at permissive temperature (20 degrees) but when shifted to 32 degrees, they show slow spiral swimming, and variable flagellar length. Recovery of wild-type motility requires flagellar assembly at 20 degrees.
