Role of chemoreceptors in motility. Histogram showing the diameter of the zone of motility expressed in percentages relative to the WT. The zone of motility was determined after stabbing 2 μL of C. jejuni (OD₆₀₀ of 0.05) in the middle of a semi-solid (0.4%) MH agar plate. The agar plates were incubated microaerobically for 48 h and motility was assessed by measuring the diameter of the zone of motility. The Δtlp8 mutant showed increased motility. Motility was restored to values similar to the WT levels in the complemented strain. A C. jejuni 81-176 cheY mutant and the RY213 strain (diploid for cheY) were used as controls. ^*P < 0.05, ^**P < 0.01, ^***P < 0.001.
