- Title
THE AUTOFLUORESCENT FLAGELLUM: A NEW PHYLOGENETIC ENIGMA\.
- Authors
Coleman, Annette W.
- Abstract
Epifluorescence microscopy reveals the presence of fluorescence in the living cells of at least three classes of flagellates. In Ochromonas cells, the fluorescence is blue-green in color and is found only in the short flagellum, both in the flagellar swelling and throughout the length of the flagellum. As recognized by the locate and color of the flagellar fluorescence , the same fluorescence is observed in only certain other heterokont algal groups but is also found in one of the two isokant flagella of the prymnestophyte Prymnesium parvum.
