Abstract
In
Escherichia coli
, the following genes are involved in motility and chemotaxis. The
H
gene is the structural gene for flagellin. Mutation in the
mot
gene results in paralysis of the flagella, and mutation in the
fla
genes leads to an absence of flagella. The
cheA, cheB
, and
cheC
genes are required for chemotaxis. The chromosomal location of these genes has now been determined. The majority are clustered in a small region around
uvrC
, between
his
and
aroD
, in the order
his-cheC-H-uvrC-mot-cheA-cheB-aroD
. The
fla
genes are located in the same region, and also between
trp
and
gal
. The results indicate that many of the genes are homologous to those which have been studied in
Salmonella typhimurium
.
