Prolonged incubation with lithium induces an aflagellate phenotype. (A, B) Histograms show the distribution of flagellar lengths following incubation with lithium. Cells were incubated without (A) (n = 109 cells) or with (B) 25 mM LiCl (n = 108 cells) for 48 h. Arrows indicate the average lengths of flagella for each cell population. (C) DIC images of control or lithium-treated cells illustrate effects on flagellar length. Arrows identify small bulbs at flagellar tips. Bars: 6 μm.
