Table I.
Measurements (mean ± standard deviation) of wild-type, pey1, and cmu1 cells. pey1 and cmu1 cells are characterized by posteriorly-positioned eyespots and more variable D4 rootlet lengths.
| Strain | Θeyea (°) | (n) | E1/R1b | (n) | Flagellar Length (μm) |
(n) | Tag Lengthc (μm) | (n) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| wild-type | 89 ± 9 | (116) | 0.92 ± 0.09 | (63) | 8.9 ± 1.2 | (100) | 0.34 ± 0.33 | (20) |
| pey1 | 110 ± 18 | (81) | 0.89 ± 0.12 | (84) | 8.5 ± 1.6 | (100) | 0.54 ± 0.45 | (20) |
| cmu1 | 144 ± 19 | (32) | 1.00 ± 0.07 | (32) | 9.3 ± 1.5 | (100) | 0.26 ± 0.26 | (20) |
