title: [Participation of the chemotactic system in regulating cell division in Escherichia coli].
abstract: The possible role of the chemotaxis system in regulating cell division of Escherichia coli was studied. Attractants increased the rate of division whereas repellents reduced it. Non-metabolisable attractants analogues were also effective in stimulating cell division. Fucose, a non-metabolisable analogue of galactose, increased the rate of division by 20-25%. Co2+ at concentrations which had no effect on the tar-mutant division suppressed the division of the wild type. Likewise, indole at concentrations which did not influence the division of the tsr-mutant, suppressed the division of the wild type.
