"Recently, we described a new unicellular microbe, named Idionectes vortex, which swims by a previously unreported mode of motility. During swimming, the flagellum of this microscopic eukaryote rotates relative to the cell body, which was a very surprising finding."

Thanks 75RR!! On my PC, I use FireFox exclusively, EXCEPT for the Microbe Hunter Forum (due to past issues with uploading images). Yes, in FireFox the videos are visible and impressive.75RR wrote:thanks for the hint, needed that!some videos:

Flow fields of swimming cells visualized by motion tracking of latex microbeads... impressive work!
