Species name： Anisonema
AL-Museum AL-Museum
This flagellate has two flagella of different lengths at the front. The shorter flagellum vibrates intensively and the longer one curves around the side and extends far behind the body. The flagellate is moving in a straight line when it suddenly reverses direction by contracting and expanding the longer flagellum. The flagellate repeats this characteristic behavior many times.
