  ABSTRACT: Recent progress in symbolic dynamics of cellular automata (CA) shows that many CA exhibit rich and complicated Bernoulli-shift properties, such as positive topological entropy, topological transitivity and even mixing. Noticeably, some CA are only transitive, but not mixing on their subsystems. Yet, for one-dimensional CA, this paper proves that not only the shift transitivity guarantees the CA transitivity but also the CA with transitive non-trivial Bernoulli subshift of finite type have dense periodic points. It is concluded that, for one-dimensional CA, the transitivity implies chaos in the sense of Devaney on the non-trivial Bernoulli subshift of finite types.
