abstract = {The eukaryotic flagellum propels sperm cells and
simultaneously detects physical and chemical cues that
modulate the waveform of the flagellar beat. Most previous
studies have characterized the flagellar beat and swimming
trajectories in two space dimensions (2D) at a water/glass
interface. Here, using refined holographic imaging methods,
we report high-quality recordings of three-dimensional (3D)
flagellar bending waves. As predicted by theory, we observed
that an asymmetric and planar flagellar beat results in a
circular swimming path, whereas a symmetric and non-planar
flagellar beat results in a twisted-ribbon swimming path.
During swimming in 3D, human sperm flagella exhibit torsion
waves characterized by maxima at the low curvature regions
of the flagellar wave. We suggest that these torsion waves
are common in nature and that they are an intrinsic property
of beating axonemes. We discuss how 3D beat patterns result
in twisted-ribbon swimming paths. This study provides new
insight into the axoneme dynamics, the 3D flagellar beat,
and the resulting swimming behavior.},
