Inflections: Plural chemotaxes.

Forms: 1800s– chemiotaxis (now rare), 1800s– chemotaxis.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding; modelled on a German lexical item. Etymons: chemo- comb. form, -taxis comb. form.

Etymology: < chemo- comb. form + -taxis comb. form, after German Chemotaxis (W. Pfeffer 1888, in Untersuchungen aus dem botanischen Institut zu Tübingen 2 582).

Biology.

The orientated or directional movement of a motile cell or organism in response to a gradient of concentration of a particular substance; an instance of this. Cf. chemotropism n.

1888 Jrnl. Royal Microsc. Soc. 770 A phenomenon which he [sc. Pfeffer] designates by the term ‘chemotaxis’.

1894 J. S. Burdon-Sanderson in Rep. Brit. Assoc. 1893 26 As a general designation of reactions of this kind Pfeffer devised the term Chemotaxis, or, as we in England prefer to call it, Chemiotaxis.

1902 Encycl. Brit. XXXI. 518 The influence of the chemical substance is either that of attraction or repulsion, the one being known as positive, the other as negative chemotaxis.

1951 Jrnl. Parasitol. 37 339 Is it chemotaxis, or a series of chemotaxes, by which Paragonimus is led through the gut wall into the coelom..and finally into the lungs?

1977 T. I. Storer et al. Elements Zool. (ed. 4) xxii. 370/1 A Drosophila is guided by its olfactory organs to overripe fruit..by a positive chemotaxis to certain alcohols and organic acids in the fermenting fruit.

2006 European Jrnl. Cell Biol. 85 1101/2 It seems that the signalling pathways for chemotaxis and electrotaxis in Dictyostelium converge upstream of directed actin polymerization.
