Please summarize the main points of the paper.

Isolation of non-chemotactic mutants
Description of the preformed liquid gradient technique
- utilizes a preformed gradient in a vertical column of liquid medium
- separates wild-type, non-motile, and non-motile but chemotactic into 3 regions
None of the 72 mutants isolated exhibited a frequency of spontaneous tumbling
- 68 exhibited smooth co-ordinated motility with no evidence of tumbling
- 4 exhibited uncoordinated motility
Results suggest there may be as many as 6 genetically distinct classes of che mutants in Salmonella

Please list the materials and methods used in this paper (strains, plasmids, antibodies, etc).
