摘要: In unicellular and multicellular eukaryotes, fast cell motility rapid movement of material over surfaces are often mediated by ciliary or flagellar beating. The conserved defining structure in most motile cilia flagella is the '9+2' microtubule axoneme. Our general understanding flagellum assembly regulation has been led results from seminal studies flagellate protozoa algae. Here we review recent work relating to various aspects protist physiology biology. particular, discuss energy metabolism eukaryotic flagella, modifications canonical pathway function parasite virulence.
