Fibrous Flagellar Hairs of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Do Not Enhance Swimming

The flagella of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii possess fibrous ultrastructures of a nanometer-scale thickness known as mastigonemes. These structures have been widely hypothesized to enhance flagellar thrust; however, detailed hydrodynamic analysis supporting this claim is lacking. In this study, we pres...
