Chemotaxis

THE HUMAN BRAIN chemical nature of their surroundings by swimming away, and a positive chemotaxis, which is an adaptive response to the type of chemical change brought about by the presence of something edible. ❋ Asimov, Isaac (1963)

Using a system of chemical communication known as chemotaxis, bacteria shape the structure of their colonies, sometimes sending an attractive signal, sometimes sending chemicals that tell others to 'stay away.' ❋ [email protected] (2010)

"These same issues of microbial 'navigation,' or so-called chemotaxis, are important for microbial processing of biofuels," said Paul Gilna, director of the ORNL-led DOE BioEnergy ❋ Unknown (2010)

This complex is crucial for a process known as chemotaxis which controls the movement of a bacterium when it senses a chemical or nutrient gradient in its environment. ❋ PhysOrg Team (2010)

This adaptive ability to control movement in response to an environmental stimulus is called chemotaxis, and the research team coined the term predataxis to describe M. xanthus behavior in response to prey. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The researchers classified the active genes according to function, and found many involved in a process known as chemotaxis, which recruits various immune cells to the site of infection. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Naama Barkai's deep understanding of the relevant biology and physics allows her to combine experiments and theory to develop novel solutions to fundamental biological problems such as chemotaxis, embryonic development and the organisation of the cellular transcription programmes. ❋ Peggy (2008)

An assay to measure chemotaxis (motility) is also available. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The control contained by chemotaxis overview eg in Wadhams & Armitage 2004 is carried by less than 10 proteins. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Armitage 2004 Making sense of it all: bacterial chemotaxis. ❋ Unknown (2010)

I was actually going to suggest one of the most carefully studied "teleological" systems – bacterial chemotaxis. ❋ Unknown (2008)

This is an example of chemotaxis – movement in response to a chemical gradient. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Chlamyodomonas swim toward light (phototaxis), and Dictyostelium amoeba crawl toward a specific chemical substance (chemotaxis). ❋ Unknown (2006)

These are the homologous domains in CheC (a chemotaxis protein in some flagella), and FliM (part of the flagellum base, which interacts with chemotaxis proteins to produce the switching in rotation direction). ❋ Unknown (2007)

Here we combine theoretical and experimental analyses to investigate an optimal design for the signalling network of bacterial chemotaxis, one of the most thoroughly studied signalling networks in biology. ❋ Unknown (2005)

=== Bacterial genome plus all the flagellar genes and all the signal transduction pathway genes which encode proteins used to control flagellar motion and chemotaxis ❋ Unknown (2005)
