Kinematics of flagellar swimming in Euglena gracilis: Helical trajectories and flagellar shapes

The flagellar swimming of euglenids, which are propelled by a single anterior flagellum, is characterized by a generalized helical motion. The 3D nature of this swimming motion, which lacks some of the symmetries enjoyed by more common model systems, and the complex flagellar beating shapes that pow...
