Sixteen new mutants of the biflagellate green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with either stumpy-flagella or no flagella at all were examined by electron microscopy. Four of the mutants were found to carry short bulbous flagella containing amorphous electron-dense material which may represent unassembled flagellar protein. Basal bodies of normal ultrastructure were present in all mutants. Dikaryon dominance tests indicated that the stumpy mutations were recessive to wild-type in all cases tested. Stumpy mutations also conferred a measure of detergent resistance to Chlamydomonas, apparently by affecting the detergent-solubility of the flagellar membrane.
利用电子显微镜对莱茵衣藻这种双鞭毛绿藻的16种新突变体进行了研究，这些突变体要么有短粗型鞭毛，要么完全没有鞭毛。发现其中4种突变体带有短的球根状鞭毛，其中含有无定形的电子致密物质，这可能代表未组装的鞭毛蛋白。所有突变体中都存在超微结构正常的基体。双核体显性测试表明，在所有测试的情况下，短粗型突变相对于野生型都是隐性的。短粗型突变显然通过影响鞭毛膜的去污剂溶解性，也赋予了衣藻一定程度的耐去污剂能力。
