Abstract: The current work is the third of a series of three papers devoted to the study of asymptotic dynamics in the space-time dependent logistic source chemotaxis system, �egin{cases} partial_tu=Delta u-chi

abla v)+u(a(x,t)-b(x,t)u),quad xin R^N,cr 0=Delta v-lambda v+mu u ,quad xin R^N, end{cases} (0.1) where Nge1 is a positive integer, chi,lambda and mu are positive constants, the functions a(x,t) and b(x,t) are positive and bounded. In the first of the series, we studied the phenomena of persistence, and the asymptotic spreading for solutions. In the second of the series, we investigate the existence, uniqueness and stability of strictly positive entire solutions. In the current part of the series, we discuss the existence of transition front solutions of (0.1) connecting (0,0) and (u(t),v(t)) in the case of space homogeneous logistic source. We show that for every chi>0 with , there is a positive constant cchi such that for every underlinec>cchi and every unit vector xi, (0.1) has a transition front solution of the form (u(x,t),v(x,t))=(U(xcdotxiC(t),t),V(xcdotxiC(t),t)) satisfying that C(t)=fraca(t)+kappa2kappa for some number kappa>0, liminftsoinftyfracC(t)C(s)ts=underlinec, andlim_{x o-infty}sup_{tin R}|U(x,t)-u^*(t)|=0 quad ext{and}quad lim_{x oinfty}sup_{tin R}|frac{U(x,t)}{e^{-kappa x}}-1|=0.Furthermore, we prove that there is no transition front solution (u(x,t),v(x,t))=(U(xcdotxiC(t),t),V(xcdotxiC(t),t)) of (0.1) connecting (0,0) and (u(t),v(t)) with least mean speed less than 2sqrtunderlinea, where underlinea=liminftsoinftyfrac1tsintsta(au)dau.
