Using a quantitative assay for measuring chemotaxis, we tested a variety of sugars and sugar derivatives for their ability to attractEscherichia colibacteria. The most effective attractants, i.e., those that have thresholds near 10−5M or below, areN-acetyl-d-glucosamine, 6-deoxy-d-glucose,d-fructose,d-fucose, 1-d-glycerol-β-d-galactoside, galactitol,d-galactose,d-glucosamine,d-glucose, α-d-glucose-1-phosphate, lactose, maltose,d-mannitol,d-mannose, methyl-β-d-galactoside, methyl-β-d-glucoside,d-ribose,d-sorbitol, and trehalose. Lactose, and probablyd-glucose-1-phosphate, are attractive only after conversion to the free monosaccharide, while the other attractants do not require breakdown for taxis. Nine different chemoreceptors are involved in detecting these various attractants. They are called theN-acetyl-glucosamine, fructose, galactose, glucose, maltose, mannitol, ribose, sorbitol, and trehalose chemoreceptors; the specificity of each was studied. The chemoreceptors, with the exception of the one ford-glucose, are inducible. The galactose-binding protein serves as the recognition component of the galactose chemoreceptor.E. colialso has osmotically shockable binding activities for maltose andd-ribose, and these appear to serve as the recognition components for the corresponding chemoreceptors.
