We recently showed by videomicroscopy that adjacent pellicular strips slide relative to each other without contraction during S‐shaped bending movement inEuglena fusca(Suzaki and Williamson, 1985). In order to validate this sliding strip mechanism for other species and other shape changes, a theoretical analysis and a computer simulation were carried out. Some of the commonly observed euglenoid cell shapes (rounded. S‐shaped, and embryo‐like shapes) were generated. Our results suggest thatEuglenaprobably achieves a variety of cell shape changes by means of locally regulated sliding between adjacent pellicular strips of constant length and width.
