Chemotaxis Toward Sugars in Escherichia coli

Using a quantitative assay for measuring chemotaxis, we tested a variety of sugars and sugar derivatives for their ability to attract Escherichia coli bacteria. The most effective attractants, i.e., those that have thresholds near 10(−5) M or below, are N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, 6-deoxy-d-glucose, d-f...
