从莱茵衣藻的无壁突变体中分离出鞭毛器（既有基体鞭毛，也有附属结构鞭毛），并在三磷酸腺苷的存在下诱导其游动。离体器官鞭毛的运动基本上是同步的，与活细胞上鞭毛的运动难以区分。这些观察结果表明，在这种双鞭毛藻中鞭毛协调的机制在很大程度上是鞭毛装置本身的结构所固有的。
The flagellar apparatus (both flagella with basal bodies and accessory structures) of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was isolated from a wall-less mutant and induced to swim in the presence of adenosine triphosphate. The movement of the flagella of the isolated apparatus was largely synchronous and indistinguishable from the movement of flagella on living cells. These observations suggest that the mechanism of flagellar coordination in this biflagellate alga is largely intrinsic to the structure of the flagellar apparatus itself.
