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, the flagella beat in an rapid, uncoordinated manner. Wild-type function is recovered with a shift to permissive temperature, and does not require reassembly.
