The oat-animal, the diatom Craticula cuspidata [14.308], with its two “muscles” protruding from the two ends was described having movements [14.20] analogous to somersaulting [14.108] (reprinted with permission of and designed by Freepik Company; Portrait of naturalist Henry Baker (1698-1774) [14.415] under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license).Figure 14.3 Andrew Pritchard, naturalist and microscopist [14.408] (1804-1882). 1843 daguerreotype by A.F.J.

Figure 1. A single free fibril: the waves running in one direction (W) cause the shifting of the fibril in the opposite direction (P). Figure 2. Longitudinal section through a Chara cell: the undulations (W) of the fibrils, which are fixed to the cell wall (C), cause the shifting of the inner layer of protoplasm (P). Figure 3.

Chloroplast (cp), region of the girdle (gi), intra-pyrenoid lamellae (1), mitochondria (m), nucleus (n), nucleolus (no), raphe (r)” [14.359] (reprinted with permission of Springer Nature). Note a single fibril in the top raphe extending inside past a gap to the cell membrane, below which is a pair of microfilament bundles. The distance between opposite raphes in Cocconeis diminuta is 3 µm [14.359]. Similar gaps have been imaged also by TEM [14.80].Figure 14.14 Left: Max Schultze, microscopic anatomist (1825-1874) [14.405] [14.417] (public domain image).

Top left: The diatom as a double tank tread in girdle view. In order to ensure independence of the two raphes, two tank treads would be necessary. (Adapted from [14.286]. Bottom left: The double tank tread model for diatom motility (1893): “I interpret these phenomena in such a way that a current of cytoplasm is driven through the pole cleft of the anterior end node into the outer cleft of the raphe, there is shifted towards the center and flows back into the cell interior through the outer central node channel” [14.252]. A similar diagram is shown in [14.44]. Right: Georg Ferdinand Otto Müller (1837-1917) [14.419] (public domain image) published a series of 8 papers on diatom motility [14.251] [14.252] [14.253] [14.254] [14.255] [14.256] [14.257] [14.258] [14.387].Figure 14.16 Left: In 2015: “We propose a model [for gliding of Flavobacterium johnsoniae] in which a pinion, connected to a rotary motor, drives a rack (a tread) that moves along a spiral track fixed to the rigid framework of the cell wall. SprB [a cell-surface adhesin], carried by the tread, adsorbs to the substratum and causes the cell to glide…. Tethered cells pinwheel around a fixed axis, suggesting that a rotary motor that generates high torque is a part of the gliding machinery [14.334]…. If 90 nm is the radius of a pinion rotating 3Hz (the maximum speed of rotation when a cell is tethered) then that pinion can drive a rack (a tread carrying adhesins) at 1.5 µm/s, which is the speed that cells glide. This suggests that nature has not only invented the wheel, it also has invented the likes of a microscopic snowmobile…. A model of the gliding machinery. (a) A cross-sectional view of a cell with a rotary gliding motor (blue), a mobile tread (green), a stationary track (red), and an adhesin (magenta). The rotary motor and the track are anchored to the peptidoglycan (PG), and the track is wound spirally around the cell. The rotary motor drives a pinion that engages a mobile tread (rack) that slides along the track. The adhesin, SprB, is attached to the tread and moves with it. The dimension d is the distance between the axis of rotation of the motor and the center of the track, and r is the radius of the pinion. (b) A side view of a cell with a rotary motor powering the motion of a tread carrying SprB” [14.332] [14.333]. O.M. = outer membrane, C.M. = inner cell membrane. Right: A rack and pinion.Figure 14.17 Model for a diatom that moves but leaves no trail [14.75]. Of course, diatoms also lay down the trail.Figure 14.18 Diatoms as the Flame of Life: Capillarity (1883). (a) A candle draws up molten wax by capillarity into the wick, where it burns off along the length of the wick, emitting light as it enters the gaseous phase and ignites. For a diatom the raphe is a hydrophobic wick drawing hydrophobic raphe fluid (raphan) from inside the diatom.
