Acetylcholine inhibition of Escherichia coli chemotaxis for aspartate.
Though acetylcholine per se was not attractant or repellent for Escherichia coli, it was found that acetylcholine inhibits the chemotaxis of the bacteria for aspartate. The inhibition appeared at 10(-5) M of acetylcholine and at 10(-2) M the inhibition reached 50%.
