An Escherichia coli mutant lacking three major K(+) uptake systems, Trk, Kup, and Kdp, did not grow under low K(+)and high Na(+) concentrations. The introduction of fkuA and of fkuB of a marine bacterium, Vibrio alginolyticus, has been reported to compensate for the growth defect by accelerating the rate of K(+) uptake (Nakamura, Katoh, Shimizu, Matsuba, and Unemoto, Biochim.
