An alternative spelling of chemiotactic; relating to movement in response to chemical stimuli.
From chemi- + -taxic (variant of -tactic). Both 'chemiotaxic' and 'chemiotactic' coexist in scientific literature, representing slightly different transliteration preferences from Greek roots.
Scientists sometimes use multiple spelling variants for the same concept—'chemiotaxic' vs 'chemiotactic'—which can confuse students, but both are correct depending on the field or publication tradition.
