Abstract
An assay was developed to study the movement of free-swimming Escherichia coli. Cells were videotaped through a microscope, and the videotape images were then digitized and analyzed with a computer. Angular and linear speeds were measured for wild-type E. coli and for a smooth and a tumbly mutant. The average angular and linear speeds of a population were directly and inversely proportional, respectively, to the time spent tumbling. Changes in angular and linear speeds were followed during the response of wild-type E. coli to attractant or repellent.Entities:
