Rhodobacter sphaeroides showed chemotaxis towards L-alanine but not towards the analog 2-aminoisobutyrate. 2-Aminoisobutyrate and alanine were shown to share a common transport system, but 2-aminoisobutyrate was not metabolized. Chemotaxis towards alanine was inhibited by structurally unrelated metabolites, suggesting cross-inhibition by common metabolic intermediates.
球形红细菌对L-丙氨酸表现出趋化性,但对类似物2-氨基异丁酸没有趋化性。已证明2-氨基异丁酸和丙氨酸共享一个共同的转运系统,但2-氨基异丁酸不能被代谢。对丙氨酸的趋化性受到结构不相关代谢物的抑制,这表明共同的代谢中间产物存在交叉抑制。
