摘要

Surface motility, which can be visualized by the movement of live prey organisms, polystyrene microspheres or other inert particles, has been shown to occur in a wide variety of microtubule-filled extensions of the protistan cell surface, although the associated functions remain enigmatic. This article integrates an extensive but poorly known body of literature showing that surface motility, associated with microtubule-filled cell extensions such as flagella, axopodia, actinopodia, reticulopodia, and haptonema, plays a crucial role in protistan prey capture. Surface motility has been most extensively studied in Chlamydomonas where it is responsible for flagella-dependent whole cell gliding motility. The force transduction machinery for gliding motility in Chlamydomonas is intraflagellar transport. Other than in Chlamydomonas, this field has not moved far beyond the descriptive to the mechanistic because of technical challenges associated with many of the protistan organisms that utilize surface motility for prey capture. The purpose of this article is to rekindle interest in the protistan systems that utilize surface motility for prey capture at a time when newly emerging molecular tools for working with protists are poised to reinvigorate a field that has been quiescent too long.
