pH-Taxis of Biohybrid Microsystems
The last decade has seen an increasing number of studies developing bacteria and other cell-integrated biohybrid microsystems. However, the highly stochastic motion of these microsystems severely limits their potential use. Here, we present a method that exploits the pH sensing of flagellated bacteria to realize robust drift control of multi-bacteria propelled microrobots. Under three specifica...
متن کاملTaxis of Pseudomonas putida F1 toward phenylacetic acid is mediated by the energy taxis receptor Aer2.
The phenylacetic acid (PAA) degradation pathway is a widely distributed funneling pathway for the catabolism of aromatic compounds, including the environmental pollutants styrene and ethylbenzene. However, bacterial chemotaxis to PAA has not been studied. The chemotactic strain Pseudomonas putida F1 has the ability to utilize PAA as a sole carbon and energy source. We identified a putative PAA ...
متن کاملTaxis response of various denitrifying bacteria to nitrate and nitrite.
The taxis response of Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 and 2.4.3, Rhodopseudomonas palustris, and Agrobacterium tumefaciens to nitrate and nitrite was evaluated by observing the macroscopic behavior of cells suspended in soft agar and incubated under various conditions. R. sphaeroides 2.4.3, which is capable of both nitrate and nitrite reduction, showed a taxis response to both nitrate and nitrite...
متن کاملRegulation of cytoplasmic pH in bacteria.
In the last 30 years, bacteria have provided experimentalists with an easily manipulable system in which to study regulatory phenomena. This has led to a relatively clear understanding of the regulatory mechanisms which operate to control gene expression (35). However, with a few exceptions (e.g., chemotaxis, the control of enzyme activity) regulatory phenomena which primarily involve control o...
متن کاملEvolution of Taxis Responses in Virtual Bacteria: Non-Adaptive Dynamics
Bacteria are able to sense and respond to a variety of external stimuli, with responses that vary from stimuli to stimuli and from species to species. The best-understood is chemotaxis in the model organism Escherichia coli, where the dynamics and the structure of the underlying pathway are well characterised. It is not clear, however, how well this detailed knowledge applies to mechanisms medi...
