Abstract excerpt
Using in vivo assays, we show that the Na+/H+ antiporter activity of the Escherichia coli mutant HIT-1 is reduced dramatically compared with activity in wild-type cells. An isogenic nhaA (formerly antA) deletion strain, however, is not significantly different from wild type in this respect. We call the locus affecting Na+/H+ antiporter activity of the HIT-1 mutant nhaB. The nhaB activity exhibits no pH dependence...
