Transcriptional control of motility enables directional movement of Escherichia coli in a signal gradient

Abstract Manipulation of cellular motility using a target signal can facilitate the development of biosensors or microbe-powered biorobots. Here, we engineered signal-dependent motility in Escherichia coli via the transcriptional control of a key motility gene. Without manipulating chemotaxis, signa...
