Flagellate
Definition:
(v. t.) To whip; to scourge; to flog.
(a.) Flagelliform.
(a.) Of or pertaining to the Flagellata.
Example Sentences:
(1) Discovery of this vectorhost-parasite system in the Americas, and the localization of promastigote flagellates (leptomonads) in the hindgut of the vector, should assist in clarifying interpretative problems associated with infection of wild-caught flies in studies on leishmaniasis in the Americas and elsewhere.
(2) The 18S data provide the principal signal that supports the more basal divergences, but the data do not unambiguously address relationships among taxa in the clade that includes most colonial flagellates and Chlamydomonas taxa representative of the Euchlamydomonas group (sensu Ettl).
(3) Needless to say, the place is now awash in self-flagellation.
(4) The spermatozoon of the mealybug Pseudococcus obscurus Essig is a filamentous cell (0.25 micro by 300 micro) which exhibits three-dimensional flagellations throughout most of its length.
(5) One month later the patient developed pigmented flagellate streaks on his arms and chest wall.
(6) Flagellation of the lateral flagella depended on the pH of the medium.
(7) Analysis of the moles per cent guanine plus cytosine (GC) content in the deoxyribonucleic acid of representative strains indicated that the peritrichously flagellated groups had a GC content of 53.7 to 67.8 moles%; polarly flagellated strains had a GC content of 30.5 to 64.7 moles%.
(8) A kinetoplast DNA hybridization probe method was used to detect Leishmania within sand flies and to distinguish it from the non-pathogenic flagellate, Endotrypanum.
(9) The flagellates that are most similar in structure to the ciliates are the dinoflagellates and two genera of uncertain taxonomic position, Colponema and Katablepharis.
(10) Thus, the results obtained show convincingly the presence of genetic interchange between flagellates of ChxR100 and CapR2.5 strains.
(11) Xanthobacter flavus 301T (T = type strain) and other strains, including H4-14, both of which were previously described as nonmotile, were reproducibly motile and peritrichously flagellated during the log phase when they were cultured in medium lacking tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates.
(12) The flagellates and the ciliates have long been considered to be closely related because of their unicellular nature and the similarity in the structures of the axoneme of the flagella and cilia in both groups.
