a

Two experiments were performed in which >100 individual cells were analyzed for flagellation by transmission electron microscopy.

b

Includes data from all cells analyzed regardless of the flagellation phenotype.

c

The normal flagellation phenotype includes cells that are amphitrichous (producing a single flagellum at each pole) and cells producing a single flagellum at one pole (“one at one pole”).

d

Cells producing 2 or more flagella at least at one pole.

e

Only includes the population of flagellated cells, divided into normally flagellated cells (amphitrichous and one flagellum at one pole) and hyperflagellated cells.
