Abstract excerpt
Chemotactic excitation responses to caged ligand photorelease of rapidly swimming bacteria that reverse (Vibrio alginolyticus) or tumble (Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium) have been measured by computer. Mutants were used to assess the effects of abnormal motility behavior upon signal...
