SYNOPSIS The regeneration kinetics of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mutants TS‐6 and TS‐79, whose flagella were mechanically amputated, indicated that the flagellar precursor in cytoplasm was used for regeneration when cycloheximide was present. The TS‐6 cells rendered nonflagellate by regression at 35 C did not regenerate in the presence of cycloheximide, indicating that the precursor was inactivated by the high temperature. Neither mutant was able to use the absorbed flagellar components for regeneration in the presence of cycloheximide.
