An atlas of metabolites driving chemotaxis in prokaryotes by Maéva Brunet, Shady A. Amin, Iurii Bodachivskyi, Unnikrishnan Kuzhiumparambil, Justin R. Seymour, Jean-Baptiste Raina

“…Our analysis reveals that (i) not all chemical classes trigger chemotaxis equally, in particular, amino acids and benzenoids are much stronger attractants than carbohydrates; (ii) over one-quarter of attractants tested are not used for growth but solely act as chemotactic signals; (iii) the prokaryote’s origin matters, as terrestrial strains respond to 50% more chemicals than those originating from human or marine biomes; (iv) repellents affect cell behaviour at concentrations 10-fold higher than attractants; (v) the effect of large molecules and the behaviour of bacteria other than Proteobacteria have been largely overlooked. …”
