Swimming microorganism mechanism and strategy.

StrategyTypes of microorganismMechanism of reorientation

Reverse and flickSingle flagellaA buckling imbalance causes a flick within flagellum hooks.
Modulation of speedUnidirectional rotation of flagellaFlagella spinning velocity of acceleration or deceleration
MastigonemesFlagellatesThe radial drags coefficient of flagella carrying mastigonemes changes
Helical-path of swimmingEukaryotic flagellaThe spinning velocity of a cell’s surface varies.
TumblingMultiflagellaReversal rotation of flagella
Complex flagellaPeritrichous flagellatesIn rotations, the hydrodynamic structure of a flagella bundle is compromised.
