Description: a) In the absence of either attractants or repellents, the bacterium stops and tumbles frequently, each time starting out in a new, random direction. b) When a gradient of an attractant is present, a bacterium heading toward the attractant tends to run for longer periods without tumbling. c) A gradient of a repellent has the opposite effect, favoring long runs away from the repellent source.
