  • 摘要:Halobacteria spontaneously reverse their swimming direction about every 10-15 s. They respond to light stimuli by a transient perturbation of this rhythm. During periodic stimulation the system shows features that are known from nonlinear oscillators. Increasing stimulation frequencies cause the following phenomena: (i) the frequency of reversals follows the stimulation frequency, (ii) transition to a state where a long and a short interval occur alternatingly and further transition to four interval lengths, (iii) appearance of irregular interval sequences, which, in a two-dimensional plot of successive intervals, reveal clearly discernible structures and suggest chaotic motion. A similar series of events can be induced in the absence of periodic stimulation, when a control parameter is changed to various constant levels. The data suggest that the system is governed by deterministic dynamical laws.
