Fluxes of energy generate active forces in living matter, yet also fluctuations. As a canonical example, collections molecular motors exhibit spontaneous oscillations with frequency jitter caused by nonequilibrium phase We investigate fluctuations reactivated Chlamydomonas reinhardtii axonemes, which are accessible to direct manipulation. quantify the precision axonemal after controlled chemical removal dynein motors, providing an experimental test for theory prediction that quality factor motor should increase number. Our quantification reveals specialized roles inner and outer arm motors. This supports model dyneins serve as master pace-makers, become entrained, consistent recent insight provided structural biology.
