Abstract excerpt
The effects of substrate analogs and energy inhibitors on glucose uptake and phosphorylation by Clostridium beijerinckii provide evidence for the operation of two uptake systems: a previously characterized phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) and a non-PTS system probably energized by the transmembrane proton gradient. In both wild-type C. beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 and the...
