Abstract
Centrioles template flagella and impart their ninefold radial symmetry of microtubules. We use EM, ET, and U-Ex-STED to show that in Lecudina tuzetae a six- or fivefold radial symmetry in the axoneme is accompanied by an eightfold radial symmetry in the centriole, revealing unexpected plasticity in the transition from centriole to axoneme.
