- 972 8 934 E-mail: provided evidence that CheY acetylation also occurs in vivo and that, in the absence of Acs, chemotaxis is defective.
- Sperm Tracks Toward Progesterone and FF The strictest criterion for chemotaxis is characteristic di- rectional changes of the spermatozoa toward the source of the chemoattractant [3, 7, 1416].
- In view of the physiological significance of sperm chemotaxis in human fertilization and its potential clinical implications, it is important to determine unequivocally whether chemotaxis is induced by progesterone and, if so, whether progesterone in FF is the chemoattractant.
- Methylation involved in chemotaxis is regulated during Caulobacter differentiation.
- Phagocyte chemotaxis is generally reduced by antibiotics such as cefotazime, rifampin, and teicoplanin [3293].
