We describe a mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii in which basal body associated striated fibers are absent or incomplete. Basal body spacing, angle, and relative rotational orientation are abnormal and extremely variable. Abnormal partitioning of cellular contents at cytokinesis is also evident. Mating, maintenance of flagellar length equality, and backward swimming response are normal. Genetic analysis indicates mutation of a new Mendelian gene--vfl-3--linked to the centromere of Chromosome VI.
我们描述了莱茵衣藻的一种突变体，其中与基体相关的横纹纤维缺失或不完整。基体间距、角度和相对旋转方向异常且变化极大。细胞分裂时细胞内容物的异常分配也很明显。交配、鞭毛长度相等的维持以及向后游动反应均正常。遗传分析表明，一个新的孟德尔基因——vfl-3发生了突变，该基因与第六条染色体的着丝粒相连。
