Abstract excerpt
We characterized mutants in two novel genes of Bacillus subtilis, cheC and cheD. Mutants in CheC had a high smooth swimming bias and exhibited poor adaptation to positive stimuli. Analysis of tethered cells revealed two distinct subpopulations which differ in their prestimulus bias and extent of adaptation. The receptors, the methyl-accepting chemotaxis proteins (MCPs), of this mutant strain were overmethylated,...
