TI  - Chemotaxis of a Ralstonia sp. SJ98 toward co-metabolizable nitroaromatic 
      compounds.
PG  - 404-9
AB  - We have earlier reported chemotaxis of a Gram-negative, motile Ralstonia sp. SJ98 
      towards p-nitrophenol (PNP), 4-nitrocatechol (NC), o-nitrobenzoate (ONB), 
      p-nitrobenzoate (PNB), and 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol (MNP) that also served as sole 
      source of carbon and energy to the strain [S.K. Samanta, B. Bhushan, A. Chauhan, 
      R.K. Jain, Biochem. Biophy. Res. Commun. 269 (2000) 117; B. Bhushan, S.K. 
      Samanta, A. Chauhan, A.K. Chakraborti, R.K. Jain, Biochem. Biophy. Res. Commun. 
      275 (2000) 129]. In this paper, we report chemotaxis of a Ralstonia sp. SJ98 
      toward seven different nitroaromatic compounds (NACs) by drop assay, swarm plate 
      assay, and capillary assay. These NACs do not serve as sole carbon and energy 
      source to strain SJ98 but are partially transformed in the presence of an 
      alternate carbon source such as succinate. This is the first report showing 
      chemotaxis of a bacterial strain toward co-metabolizable NACs.
