Abstract excerpt
The pathogenic bacterium Vibrio cholerae is aquatic and can be cultivated in nutrient media with increased salt concentration. To maintain osmotic balance, V. cholerae uses Na+/H+ antiporters and a Na+-translocating NADH:quinone oxidoreductase (Na+-NQR). The exact contribution of the various Na+/H+ antiporters to maintaining Na+ and H+ homeostasis in V. cholerae is unclear. However, genetic studies indicate the...
