(a-b) Average propulsive force calculated from Equations (1-2). (a) Average propulsive force varied significantly with viscosity in wt, ida1, and oda2 (ANOVA, p<0.01). (b) Compared to wt, ida1 and oda2 cells produced less force at low and medium viscosity. At high viscosity wt and ida1 generated similar average forces. (c-d) Average power vs. viscosity. (c) Decrease in power with viscosity was significant for all mutants (ANOVA, p<0.01). (d) Wild-type (wt) cells generate more power than dynein-deficient mutants. The values of propulsive force and power in this figure are close to corresponding previous estimates in biflagellate cells (Minoura and Kamiya, 1995; Yagi et al., 2005).
