Chemotaxis in large, free-living amoebae

Experimental Cell Research, 1965
Abstract Free-living large amoebae have been shown to exhibit directed chemotactic movement towards hydra tissue and a water-soluble fraction extracted from commercial crude papain. The chemotactic responses are produced by the local formation of pseudopods and their subsequent extension.
