Abstract excerpt
In contrast to enteric bacteria, chemotaxis in Rhodobacter sphaeroides requires transport and partial metabolism of chemoattractants. Although a chemotaxis operon has been identified containing homologues of the enteric cheA, cheW, cheR genes and two homologues of the cheY gene, deletion of the entire chemotaxis operon had only minor effects on chemotactic behaviour under the conditions tested.
