flimmer1945

1945 H. P. Brown in Ohio Jrnl. Sci. 45 249 He [sc. Fischer] termed these flagella Flimmergeisseln, or ciliated flagella. Since ‘flimmer’ appears to be a convenient word for the structures, and does not carry any obvious implications in the English language, I shall hereafter employ the term ‘flimmer-flagellum’ in reference to any flagellum bearing hair-like projections along one, two, or all sides.

1945 H. P. Brown in Ohio Jrnl. Sci. 45 250 Regarding the arrangement of the flimmer, Fischer assumed that they must beat in unison, since, on any given flagellum, all the flimmer project in the same direction.

1947 Ann. Rev. Microbiol. 1 8 Hair-like branches (‘flimmer’, ‘mastigonemes’) on one or both sides of flagella have been described.

1965 P. Bell & D. Coombe tr. Strasburger's Textbk. Bot. (new ed.) 417 (caption) The long ‘tinsel-type’ flagellum has two rows of fine flimmer hairs.
