Mastigonemes are lateral "hairs" that attach to protistan flagella. Flimsy hairs attach to the flagella of euglenid flagellates, while stiff hairs occur...

as nine doublets surrounding two singlets. Flagella may have hairs (mastigonemes), as in many Stramenopiles. Their interior is continuous with the cell's...

flagella; the anterior flagellum has one or two rows of stiff hairs or mastigonemes, and the posterior flagellum is without such embellishments, being smooth...

stramenochromes, ochrophytes, heterokontophytes Biflagellates with tripartite mastigonemes, chloroplasts with four membranes and chlorophylls a and c, tubular cristae...

diatoms and have the usual heterokont structure, including the hairs (mastigonemes) characteristic in other groups. Diatoms are often referred as "jewels...

Tinsellated (straminipilous) flagella have lateral filaments known as mastigonemes perpendicular to their main axis, which allow for more surface area,...

morphologically, characterized by an anterior flagellum with tripartite bristles (mastigonemes), while Alveolata is united by the presence of cortical alveoli. Nonetheless...

with two rows of hairs acronematic: flagella with a single, terminal mastigoneme or flagellar hair (e.g., bodonids); some authors use the term as synonym...

presence of two unequal flagella, one of which has tripartite hairs called mastigonemes. In particular, they are characterized by photosynthetic organelles or...

(including lack thereof), and from one to hundreds of flagella without mastigonemes. Present in marine, freshwater and terrestrial habitats. Chloropicophyceae...

flagellum is coated with about 30,000 extremely fine filaments called mastigonemes. Like other euglenoids, Euglena possess a red eyespot, an organelle composed...

inserted parallel to one another, and are covered by bipartite hairs called mastigonemes, formed within the endoplasmic reticulum and transported to the cell...

anterior flagellum has thin non-hollow mastigonemes at its base (or proximal end), unlike the hollow tripartite mastigonemes found in stramenopiles. The posterior...

chrysophytes contains two specialized flagella. The active, "feathered" (with mastigonemes) flagellum is oriented toward the moving direction. The smooth passive...

heterodynamic (i.e. move in different patterns). Some species exhibit thin mastigonemes in their anterior flagellum, while others bear bulbs. Some species are...

to maintain the cell's shape. Additionally, they possess tripartite mastigonemes, complex three-part hair-like structures on their flagella, the whip-like...

proboscis. Occasionally, a single flagellum with tripartite hairs (or mastigonemes) emerges from the proximity of the proboscis. They predominantly move...
