摘要
We observed that bacteria grown below a critical concentration, in batch-mode cultures, swim towards warm regions when subjected to a temperature gradient. above that concentration, they swim towards colder regions. our findings indicate that the secreted intercellular signal, glycine, mediates this switch through methylation of Tsr receptors. at high bacterial concentration, the switch is reinforced by an inversion of the Tar/Tsr expression ratio.
