Chemotaxis away from thiocyanic and isothiocyanic esters in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Negative chemotaxis, the movement of organisms away from chemicals, was investigated in Pseudomonas aeruginosa using a rapid videotape method. Digital image processing was used to detect changes in bacterial numbers near the mouth of a capillary containing a test chemical. P. aeruginosa was found to be repelled by thiocyanic and isothiocyanic esters including allyl isothiocyanate, ethyl thiocya...
متن کاملChemotaxis in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
A chemotaxis system for Pseudomonas aeruginosa was defined by using the method of Adler. Cells were attracted to compounds in the order ammonium chloride greater than amino acids greater than organic acids. Two sugars were assayed and elicited no response. Comparisons with other model systems are discussed.
متن کاملChemotaxis by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Chemotaxis by Pseudomonas aeruginosa RM46 has been studied, and conditions required for chemotaxis have been defined, by using the Adler capillary assay technique. Several amino acids, organic acids, and glucose were shown to be attractants of varying effectiveness for this organism. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid was absolutely required for chemotaxis, and magnesium was also necessary for a m...
متن کاملInhibition of Chemotaxis by Phospiionate Esters
Fresh normal serum treated with immune complexes is chemotactic for polymorphonudear leukocytes (PMN's) from a variety of species (1, 2). The factor in treated serum causing specific directional migration of PMN's has been identified as a molecular complex consisting of the fifth (C'5), sixth (C~6), and probably seventh (CtT) components of complement (2, 3). The manner by which the chemotactic ...
متن کاملChemotaxis to oligopeptides by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
A number of peptides were evaluated as chemoattractants for Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Several strains recognized tri-, tetra-, penta-, and hexapeptides in a capillary tube assay. Tripeptides altered at the carboxyl terminus were good attractants, whereas tripeptides altered at the amino terminus did not serve as chemoattractants. Methionine-containing peptides were relatively poor attractants. Ar...
