Trichomitus (trike-owe-mite-us), trichomonad flagellate normally found as endosymbionts in other organisms. Three anterior flagella, one recurrent flagellum attaching to the cell surface and beating to form an undulating fold or undulating membrane. An axostyle projects from the rear of the cell and can be used in attaching the cell to the substrate. Phase contrast.
