25. Maltose chemoreceptor of Escherichia coli.
Strains carrying mutations in the maltose system of Escherichia coli were assayed for maltose taxis, maltose uptake at 1 and 10 muM maltose, and maltose-binding activity released by osmotic shock. An earlier conclusion that the metabolism of maltose is not necessary for chemoreception is extended to include the functioning of maltodextrin phosphorylase, the

26. TOL plasmid can prevent induction of chemotactic responses to aromatic acids.
Growth conditions that elicited positive chemotaxis to benzoate and m-toluate in TOL- Pseudomonas putida cells failed to elicit taxis to these compounds in TOL+ cells. The inability of TOL+ cells to respond to these aromatic acids appears to be due to the preferential expression of TOL-encoded genes for aromatic degradation over chromosomally encoded genes.

28. Effect of outer membrane permeability on chemotaxis in Escherichia coli.
The relationship between outer membrane permeability and chemotaxis in Escherichia coli was studied on mutants in the major porin genes ompF and ompC. Both porins allowed passage of amino acids across the outer membrane sufficiently to be sensed by the methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins, although OmpF was more effective than OmpC. A mutant deleted for both

29. The Aer protein and the serine chemoreceptor Tsr independently sense intracellular energy levels and transduce oxygen, redox, and energy signals for Escherichia coli behavior
We identified a protein, Aer, as a signal transducer that senses intracellular energy levels rather than the external environment and that transduces signals for aerotaxis (taxis to oxygen) and other energy-dependent behavioral responses in Escherichia coli. Domains in Aer are similar to the signaling domain in chemotaxis receptors and the putative oxygen-se

30. Chemotaxis in Spirochaeta aurantia.
Cell of Spirochaeta aurantia M1 suspended in isotropic buffer solution swam in nearly straight lines and appeared to spin around their longitudinal axis. Occasionally, cells stopped and flexed, and then resumed translational motility, usually in a different direction. The average cell velocity was 26 micron/s. A quantitative assay for chemotaxis was used to

32. Methyl-accepting taxis proteins in Halobacterium halobium.
Methyl-accepting taxis proteins were identified and characterized in Halobacterium halobium, an archaebacterial species that is both chemotactic and phototactic. The data suggest direct involvement of methylation and demethylation in mechanisms of both chemotaxis and phototaxis and identify adaptation as the sensory process in which those reactions are likel

33. Isolation and characterization of Enterobacter cloacae mutants which are defective in chemotaxis toward inorganic phosphate.
Enterobacter cloacae IFO3320 is attracted to Pi when cells are starved for Pi. Two Tn1737KH-induced mutants, which were constitutive for alkaline phosphatase, failed to exhibit Pi taxis even under conditions of Pi limitation. Both of the mutant strains exhibited normal chemotactic responses to peptone, suggesting that they are specifically defective in Pi ta

34. Characterization of Halobacterium halobium mutants defective in taxis.
Mutant derivatives of Halobacterium halobium previously isolated by using a procedure that selected for defective phototactic response to white light were examined for an array of phenotypic characteristics related to phototaxis and chemotaxis. The properties tested were unstimulated swimming behavior, behaviorial responses to temporal gradients of light and

35. A methyl-accepting protein is involved in benzoate taxis in Pseudomonas putida.
Pseudomonas putida is attracted to at least two groups of aromatic acids: a benzoate group and a benzoylformate group. Members of the benzoate group of chemoattractants stimulated the methylation of a P. putida polypeptide with an apparent molecular weight of 60,000 in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels. This polypeptide is presumed to be a methyl-ac

36. Chemotaxis of Spirochaeta aurantia: involvement of membrane potential in chemosensory signal transduction.
The effects of valinomycin and nigericin on sugar chemotaxis in Spirochaeta aurantia were investigated by using a quantitative capillary assay, and the fluorescent cation, 3,3'-dipropyl-2,2'-thiodicarbocyanine iodide was used as a probe to study effects of chemoattractants on membrane potential. Addition of a chemoattractant, D-xylose, to cells in either pot
