Cilia and Flagella – Ciliates and Flagellates
Cilia and Flagella: Ciliates and Flagellates presents a contemporary and imaginative synopsis of diverse biological aspects of cilia/flagella and ciliates/flagellates. It comprises contributions by a dozen of renowned experts from all over the world, which summarize our current understanding, essentially the results obtained and progress made during the last five decades of research of cilia/flagella and the ultrastructure, cell biology, organellar function, motility, taxonomy/systematics, symbiosis, and biodiversity of ciliates and flagellates.
Cilia and Flagella: Ciliates and Flagellates provides various suggestions for future research. It is lavishly illustrated by numerous line drawings and light- and electron-microscopic images.
