The rhizobacterium Azospirillum brasilense Sp245 swims, swarms (Swa(+) phenotype) or, very rarely, migrates with the formation of granular macrocolonies (Gri(+) phenotype). Our aims were (i) to identify Sp245 mutants that swarm faster than the parent strain or differ from it in the mode of spreading and (ii) to compare the mutants' responses to wheat seedling exudates. In isotropic liquid media, the swimming...
