The role of sma in cell migration.Chemotaxis of growing cells towards folic acid was analyzed. (A) Values of velocity (µm/min), directionality, and the chemotactic index for the indicated cell types. Cells were tracked on agar with images acquired every 20 seconds for 5 minutes. A minimum of at least 20 cells for each strain was tracked in 3 different rounds of chemotaxis on different days. *Indicates a significant difference of sma− strains compared to WT or ampAOE parental strains with P<0.05 using a Student's t-test. Chemotaxis to cAMP was measured using 6-hour developing cells. (B) Chemotaxis plots from representative fields. The direction and distance of each cell from its origin at t = 0 is shown. The location of the source of chemoattractant is indicated in each plot by a gray star.
