Behavioral responses of Rhodobacter sphaeroides to linear gradients of the nutrients succinate and acetate.
Rhodobacter sphaeroides cells were tethered by their flagella and subjected to increasing and decreasing nutrient gradients. Using motion analysis, changes in flagellar motor rotation were measured and the responses of the cells to the chemotactic gradients were determined. The steepness and concent...
