1935 Jrnl. Exper. Med. 62 205 In those portions of the preparations where isolated organisms could be studied, they were monoflagellate, the flagellum usually located at one pole of the bacillus.

1982 Jrnl. Cell Biol. 92 170 The size of the intracellular pool of flagellar precursor protein can differ dramatically among individual mutant cells, with, for example, triflagellate cells having three times the pool of monoflagellate cells.

2000 Jrnl. Bacteriol. 182 357 An intact copy of fleN on a plasmid complemented the mutant by restoring motility and monoflagellate status.

1936 A. G. Lowndes in Nature 1 Aug. 210/1 Fig. 1 shows five consecutive exposures of the flagellum of Peranema, which is a very common monoflagellate.

1968 Ecology 49 344/2 At 45°C there were no protozoans until after about 1 month of cultivation, when a monoflagellate began to manifest itself in very small numbers.

1988 Archiv f. Protistenkunde 136 203 Validity of host specificity as a criterion for species differentiation among fish monoflagellates is discussed.
