  - The chemotaxis signalling network in Escherichia coli that controls the locomotion
    of bacteria is a classic model system for signal transduction1, 2. This pathway
    modulates the behaviour of flagellar motors to propel bacteria towards sources
    of chemical attractants. Although this system relaxes to a steady state in response
    to environmental changes, the signalling events within the chemotaxis network
    are noisy and cause large temporal variations of the motor behaviour even in the
    absence of stimulus3. That the same signalling network governs both behavioural
    variability and cellular response raises the question of whether these two traits
    are independent. Here, we experimentally establish a fluctuation–response relationship
    in the chemotaxis system of living bacteria. Using this relationship, we demonstrate
    the possibility of inferring the cellular response from the behavioural variability
    measured before stimulus. In monitoring the pre- and post-stimulus switching behaviour
    of individual bacterial motors, we found that variability scales linearly with
    the response time for different functioning states of the cell. This study highlights
    that the fundamental relationship between fluctuation and response is not constrained
    to physical systems at thermodynamic equilibrium4 but is extensible to living
    cells5. Such a relationship not only implies that behavioural variability and
    cellular response can be coupled traits, but it also provides a general framework
    within which we can examine how the selection of a network design shapes this
    interdependence@eng
