Mycoplasma sp. nov. strain 163K, the gliding microorganism isolated from the gills of a tench ( Tinca tinca L.), is capable of chemotaxis, being attracted to sugars, amino acids, and mucus. The chemotactic behavior of the organisms was microscopically investigated and documented by long-time exposure photomicrographs providing motility tracks. In diffusion-generated concentration gradients of chemoattractive substances, the random motion of the mycoplasmas was strongly biased in the direction of increasing attractant concentrations.
