Interested in #Chlamydomonas #cilia (aka flagella)?
It was a pleasure to contribute to the latest edition of the Chlamy Sourcebook - with a new chapter on the physics and mechanics of motile cilia https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/B9780128225080000174 , great collab with Phil Bayly! Vol3 edited by @DutcherLab
This is the danciest little cell I have ever seen.

ダンサー登場。ゴニウムの長い鞭毛を見たので久しぶりにクラミドモナスの鞭毛を観察。本体まで焦点が届きませんでした。コミカルな動きが可愛いのだけど実は鞭毛がガラスに貼り付いて困っているのだとどこかで読みました。すまぬ。

#Chlamydomonas (2 #cilia) and #Pyramimonas (8 cilia) #algae were encapsulated into droplets by #microfluidics and imaged at high speed to characterise gait switching dynamics and the effect of light.

and the ciliary vane, which is very different from the mastigonemes of e..g. #Chlamydomonas
A cilium with wings.
First toot! Who's here? You may know me from the bird app as the one who is obsessed with #cilia and #protists. Here is a YouTube vid (several years old) of some psychedelic #Chlamydomonas #cilia to prove it.
