Abstract: | The chemotactic responses of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. dendrolimus (strain 49) and thuringiensis (strain 2002) and their morphological dissociants were studied by using some natural and artificial substances as effectors. The 12-h-old wild-type cells (S variants) of both strains were found to be motile and similar in their chemotactic responses, whereas the chemotactic responses of the R variants were different.Translated from Mikrobiologiya, Vol. 74, No. 1, 2005, pp. 87–91.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Lebenko, Sekerina, Chemerilova. |
