Chlamydomonas cells sucked onto micropipettes were filmed at 500 frames/sec and analyzed as to their forward beating mode. A comparison with freely swimming cells revealed that the flagella of the sucked cells beat in a normal threedimensional manner, with beat frequencies that correspond to those of freely swimming cells. Most beats were synchronous. but not symmetrical; cis- and trans-flagellum appear to beat in a slightly different manner. Some cells beat synchronously throughout, but mostly synchrony was interrupted by a single asynchrony or up to incessant asynchronies, caused by transient accelerations of the trans- (fo-) flagellum. Only rarely did cis- and trans-flagella have different but constant beat frequencies. Helical swimming of Chlamydomonas more likely is due to the beat asymmetries of the two flagella than to differences of beat frequencies. In our records, the stigma is on the inside of the helical swimming path.
