The capacity of bacteria to survive and grow at alkaline pH values is of widespread
importance in the epidemiology of pathogenic bacteria, in remediation and industrial …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the methods to study interactions between
metals and microorganisms, and demonstrate the necessity of adopting a multidisciplinary …

The smallest membrane protein shown to catalyze ion-coupled transport is documented in
this report. A gene coding for a small 110-amino acid membrane protein (emrE or mvrC) has …

Analysis of the bacterial genome sequences shows that many human and animal pathogens
encode primary membrane Na+ pumps, Na+-transporting dicarboxylate decarboxylases or …

LysE of Corynebacterium glutamicum belongs to a large new superfamily of translocators
whose members are probably all involved in the export of small solutes. Here, the transcript …

Salinity tolerance in plants involves controlled Na+ transport at the site of Na+ accumulation
and intracellular Na+ compartmentation. The focus of this study was the identification and …

The NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) couples the transfer of electrons from
NADH to ubiquinone with the translocation of protons across the membrane. Recently, it was …

Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 has five genes for putative Na+/H+ antiporters
(designated nhaS1, nhaS2, nhaS3, nhaS4, and nhaS5). The deduced amino acid …

A vast array of organisms is known thriving in high pH environments. The biotechnological,
medical, and environmental importance of this remarkable group of organisms has attracted …

PeNhaD1 encodes a putative Na+/H+ antiporter from the salt-resistant tree Populus
euphratica. It is the first characterization of a member of the NhaD type ion transporter family …
