HOFFMANN-BERLING1 has demonstrated that in models of isolated flagella of trypanosomes and spermatozoa movement in vitro is caused by external application of ATP. The degree of movement correlates with the concentration of ATP. The same effect of ATP on isolated flagella of bacteria has been observed by Jahn and Bovee2. Chelating agents or SH compounds and ATPase inhibit the activity of movement of the flagella3. In living organisms, however, an equivalent effect has not yet been shown.
