Abstract excerpt
Through functional complementation of an Escherichia coli mutant defective in glycine betaine uptake, we identified a single-component glycine betaine transporter from Tetragenococcus halophila, a moderate halophilic lactic acid bacterium. DNA sequence analysis characterized the ButA protein as a member of the betaine choline carnitine transporter (BCCT) family, that includes a variety of previously characterized...
