Chemotaxis of bacteria in glass capillary arrays. Escherichia coli, motility, microchannel plate, and light scattering.

Biophysical journal - 1 Oct 1990

Berg H C, Turner L

Abstract excerpt

Random and directed motility of bacterial populations were assayed by monitoring the flux of bacteria through a microchannel plate (a porous glass plate comprising a fused array of capillary tubes) separating two identical stirred chambers. Cells, washed free of growth medium by a new filtration...
