Abstract
|
|
|
|
Chemotaxis is the movement of an organism toward chemical attractant and away from chemical repellents. Several bacteria are known to cometabolically degrade some pollutants and attracted to the pollutants. The chemotactic responses to these compounds influence the efficiency of bioremediation because the first precondition of pollutant degradation is definitely confrontation between microorganisms and pollutants. In this review, we summarize present knowledge of about the chemotactic mechanism to environmental pollutants of Pseudomonas species.
