Abstract
Leucine concentration jumps (applied by photolysis of inert derivatives) triggered swim or tumble responses in Escherichia coli mutants lacking Tsr or Tar, respectively. Wild-type E. coli bacteria were attracted in spatial assays when the initial leucine concentration difference was 5 to 120 micro M but were repulsed when it was over 0.5 mM. Their responses to concentration jumps confirmed earlier deductions regarding biphasic excitation.Entities:
