| Dynamic Receptor Team Formation Can Explain the High Signal (2007) | |||||||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||||||
| Evolution has provided many organisms with sophisticated sensory systems that enable them to respond to signals in their environment. The response frequently involves alteration in the pattern of movement, either by directed movement, a process called taxis, or by altering the speed or frequency of turning, which is called kinesis. Chemokinesis has been most thoroughly studied in the peritrichous bacteria Escherichia coli, which has 4 helical flagella distributed over the cell surface (Turner et al. 2000), and swims by rotating them (Berg # Anderson 1973). | |||||||||||||
