abstract：:Strains of Escherichia coli lacking all cytoplasmic chemotaxis proteins except CheY swim smoothly under most conditions. However, they tumble when exposed to acetate. Acetate coenzyme A synthetase (EC 6.2.1.1) was thought to be essential for this response. New evidence suggests that the tumbling is mediated instead by...
