Motility Kit

$35.00

Many Chlamydomonas mutants with impaired motility have been characterized. Because the structure of the Chlamydomonas flagellum is virtually identical to that of animal cilia, this system is an excellent model for investigation of flagellar and ciliary structure and function. Defects in central pair microtubules, dynein arms, radial spokes, and basal bodies produce characteristic alterations in swimming that are easily observed with a microscope.
