Behavior of Aer mutants with decreased aerotactic responses and normal pre-stimulus signaling.a
Aer | Response time (s) | |
---|---|---|
O2 ↑ | O2 ↓ | |
wild type | 158 ± 16 | 24 ± 7 |
G42C | 10 ± 3 | NR |
E47C | 12 ± 3 | 9 ± 1 |
R57C | NR | NR |
H58C | NR | NR |
D60C | NR | NR |
D68C | NR | NR |
W79C | NR | NR |
G90C | NR | NR |
The duration of the responses to an oxygen increase and decrease were determined using the temporal oxygen gradient assay.
NR, no response.
