A. brasilense shows both chemotaxis and chemokinesis in response to temporal gradients of chemoattractants. They also construct sessile biofilms on various interfaces. In vivo expression studies and EMSA assays showed that FlbD acts at promoter regions to both activate and repress the expression of some middle and late flagellar genes. The polar flagella of free-swimming and tethered cells could rotate in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resmic.2015.12.004, Ramírez-Mata A, Pacheco MR, Moreno SJ, Xiqui- Vázquez ML, Baca BE (2018) Versatile use of Azospirillum brasilense strains tagged with egfp and mCherry genes for the visualization of biofilms associated with wheat roots.
