The positive chemotactic responses of motile marine bacteria were reversed by the addition of sublethal concentrations of a toxic chemical. The negative chemotactic effect was observed with a wide range of toxicants including heavy metals and hydrocarbons. This phenomenon may be utilized to develop new approaches for control of marine fouling.
游动海洋细菌的正向趋化反应会因添加亚致死浓度的有毒化学物质而逆转。在包括重金属和碳氢化合物在内的多种有毒物质中都观察到了负向趋化效应。这一现象可用于开发控制海洋污损的新方法。
