“…2A). This motion pattern is widespread in unicellular organisms (Jahn and Votta, 1972), but seems less common in vertebrates. This is a viscous flow analogue of a marine propeller, with the net flow parallel to the rotation axis (C)Representation of the theoretical flow obtained with cilia displaying a circular motion with a tilt of 90° or a tilt of 35°.…”

“…Tip to basal actuation of anterior flagella is, however, seen in some species of protozoa, among the family Trypanosomatidae (Jahn & Votta 1972) and in the genus Peranema (Chen 1950;Chang 1966). Putting such kinematical distinctions aside, in this section we explore a dynamical congruence of the magnetic micro-swimmer to a swimming eukaryotic cell.…”

“…This may take the form of precise frequency and phase locking, as frequently found in the swimming of green algae [1], or beating with long-wavelength phase modulations known as metachronal waves, seen in ciliates such as Paramecium [2] and in our own respiratory systems. The remarkable similarity in the underlying molecular structure of flagella across the whole eukaryotic world leads naturally to the hypothesis that a similarly universal mechanism might be responsible for synchronization.…”
