    Directed movement in response to chemical attractants is of crucial importance to
    Agrobacterium tumefaciens
    . Motility is a determinant of rhizosphere competence (
    1
    ), and chemotaxis a conditional requirement for virulence (
    2
    ,
    3
    ).
    A. tumefaciens
    is attracted toward a variety of sugars typical of plant exudates (
    4
    ). Responses to nanomolar amounts of phenolic wound exudates are chiefly determined by the Ti-plasmid encoded virulence genes
    vir
    A and
    vir
    G (

    ,
    6
    ). The sensitivity of these responses indicates that they play a role in the biology of
    A. tumefaciens
    . Thus, the attraction to sugars can partly explain the organism’s prevalence in the rhizosphere (
    7
    ) and the highly sensitive response to phenolics, may help to guide
    A. tumefaciens
    to wounded plant cells (
