SUMMARY:Gait changes in the motility of Euglena gracilis: theory and exper
 iments on flagellar swimming and metaboly - Antonio DeSimone (SISSA)

DESCRIPTION:In recent years we have studied locomotion and shape control i
 n Euglena gracilis with a variety of methods including theory\, numerical 
 simulation\, and observations at the microscope. \nThis unicellular protis
 t is particularly interesting because it can adopt different motility stra
 tegies: \nswimming by flagellar propulsion\, or crawling thanks to large a
 mplitude shape changes of the whole body (a behavior known as metaboly). \
 nWe will survey our most recent findings within this stream of research.
