Abstract excerpt
The role of methylation in chemotaxis is understood generally, but several anomalies exist which bring into question the timing of methylation relative to sensing. A double mutant bacterium, deficient in both methyltransferase and methylesterase (Tr-Es-) is capable of chemotaxis even though the r...
