The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1616-1620, March 2026.The urgent need for sustainable agriculture places biological nitrogen fixation at the forefront of current biotechnological research. Plant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria play crucial roles in agriculture by enhancing nutrient absorption, regulating hormonal balance, and providing reduced nitrogen to plants. Among these, diazotrophic bacteria, such as

Chemotactic Behavior of Azotobacter vinelandii [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1991 Chemotaxis was exhibited by Azotobacter vinelandii motile cells. Exposure of cells to sudden increases in attractant concentration suppressed the frequency of tumbling and resulted in smooth swimming. Cells responded chemotactically to a chemical gradient produced during metabolism.
