Temperature effects on bacterial movement.
Details are presented for the construction of a simple precision temperature-controlled chamber for investigating bacterial motile behavior. Independent of original incubation temperature, all species of motile bacteria observed showed a five- to sevenfold increase in average translational velocity (micrometers per second) as the environment temperature was incremented over the range from 10 to 50 degrees C. Temperature jumps downward produced transient tumbling or reciprocal behavior responses, depending on the mode of flagellar distribution, in all species examined. Upward temperature jumps induced accelerated velocities without tumbling or reversal. A partial capacity adaptation to temperature was noted, in that the greatest average translational velocity at any given observation temperature occurred when the organisms were grown at temperatures less than the optimum.
