Characterization of novel chemotaxis proteins in Bacillus subtilis

Chemotactic bacteria including Bacillus subtilis migrate towards more favorable conditions by using a signalling system that controls the direction of rotation of the flagella. Many proteins involved in this system show widespread similarity, but several unique chemotactic genes have been identified in B. subtilis that could account for the differences in behavior and biochemistry of this organism from other chemotactic bacteria.
