Abstract excerpt
The Na+/H+ antiporter, which appears to predominantly contribute to the alkaliphily of Bacillus halodurans C-125, was studied in an alkali-sensitive mutant of this strain and a transformant with restored alkaliphily. The alkali-sensitive mutant, strain 38154, which has lost the ability to grow above pH 9.5, was found to lack electrogenic Na+/H+ antiport activity driven by deltapsi (membrane potential, interior...
