Abstrakt:	In semiliquid laboratory media, the bacterium Azospirillum brasilense migrates with the formation of swarming rings. It is demonstrated that adsorption of the sulfonated azodye Congo Red confers on A. brasilense the ability to consistently spread in a semiliquid agar with formation of microcolonies. Spontaneous variants of A. brasilense with increased swarming rate are described, as well as variants that swarm in the presence of Congo Red. It is assumed that at least two types of compounds are formed, which are necessary for swarming and/or spreading with the formation of microcolonies and are capable of interacting with Congo Red.
