Abstract excerpt
Two genes in the Escherichia coli genome, b4065 (yjcE) and b1191 (ycgO), are similar to genes encoding eukaryotic Na+/H+ exchangers. Mutants were constructed in which yjcE (GRN11), ycgO (GRF55) or both (GRD22) were inactivated. There was no change in respiration-driven Na+ efflux in any of the mutants when grown in media containing 50-500 mM Na+. The only striking finding was that growth of GRF55 was impaired at...
