Conditioning process in Metamoeba leningradensis. a Under galvanotaxis conditions practically all the Metamoeba leningrandensis migrated towards the cathode. b After induction process, the cells were placed in Chalkley’s medium without any stimulus for 5 min, and then they were exposed to galvanotaxis for 30 min. 71% of the induced cells presented lasting directionality towards the anode, where the chemotactic peptide was absent. “N” total number of cells, “Er” experimental replicates, “nr” number of cells per replicate, “t” time of galvanotaxis or chemotaxis, “ + ” anode, “−” cathode. Both the x and y axis show the distance in mm, and the initial location of each cell has been placed at the center of the diagram
