Analyses of the Roles of the Three cheA Homologs in Chemotaxis of Vibrio cholerae

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: The Vibrio cholerae genome revealed the presence of multiple sets of chemotaxis genes, including three cheA gene homologs. We found that the cheA-2, but not cheA-1 or cheA-3, gene is essential for chemotaxis under standard conditions. Loss of chemotaxis had no effect on virulence factor expression in vitro.
