The behavioral response of Escherichia coli to electric shock in 10(-2) M potassium phosphate plus 10(-4) M potassium EDTA was studied. When presented with a 150-V/cm electric shock that lasted 250 ms, the bacteria at first exclusively ran, then exclusively tumbled, and finally returned to their original running and tumbling. This response is due to increased temperature caused by the electric shock, i.e., to thermotaxis, and it is mediated by the chemotaxis machinery. A more severe electric shock, 150 V/cm for 550 ms, caused cells to tumble immediately, and then they went back to their original running and tumbling. The mechanism of that response is unknown since, unlike known thermotaxis, it does not require the chemotaxis machinery.
