Abstract
⺠The exposure of bacteria to pollutants induces chemoattraction or chemorepellence. ⺠Pollutant chemoreceptors so far identified are present on plasmids. ⺠Chemotaxis increases pollutant bioavailability and enhances biodegradation rates. ⺠Chemotaxis may improve microbial inoculants designed just on catabolic potential.
