Genetic mapping of genes required for motility in Caulobacter crescentus.
Mutations in more than 30 genes affect motility in Caulobacter crescentus. We have determined the chromosomal map locations for 27 genes involved in flagellar morphogenesis (fla), three genes involved in flagellar function (mot), and three genes that have a pleiotropic effect on both motility and bacteriophage resistance (ple). Three multigene clusters have been detected at widely separated chr...
متن کاملHelical motion of the cell body enhances Caulobacter crescentus motility.
We resolve the 3D trajectory and the orientation of individual cells for extended times, using a digital tracking technique combined with 3D reconstructions. We have used this technique to study the motility of the uniflagellated bacterium Caulobacter crescentus and have found that each cell displays two distinct modes of motility, depending on the sense of rotation of the flagellar motor. In t...

shaped by their activity — both intrinsic and environment induced — and how these networks support the brain computations that underlie externally observable behavior. The second major challenge facing our young field will be applying the basic discoveries we are making to important real-world issues. It is a widely held view that understanding the brain bases of cognitive and behavioral develo...
متن کاملGeneralized Transduction in CAULOBACTER CRESCENTUS.
Two closely related bacteriophage, varphiCr30 and varphiCr35, are the first bacteriophage shown to mediate generalized transduction in Caulobacter crescentus. Unlike most other transducing phage, they are virulent and do not form any sort of lysogenic relationship with their host. However, they are rather inefficient at adsorption, so that transductants have a good chance of survival. The phage...
متن کاملAnalysis of caulobacter crescentus lipids.
The lipids of Caulobacter crescentus, a procaryotic species which differentiates into stalked and swarmer cell types, were analyzed. Major lipid classes were purified by chromatography and identified by both chromatographic and chemical methods. Approximately half of the total lipid fraction of this organism consisted of glycolipis, which were primarily monoglucosyldiglyceride and an acylated g...
