Glycine betaine transport by Staphylococcus aureus: evidence for feedback regulation of the activity of the two transport systems.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Nov 1994

Pourkomailian B, Booth I R

Abstract excerpt

The regulation of glycine betaine accumulation by Staphylococcus aureus was investigated. The accumulation of glycine betaine was regulated by the osmotic pressure of the medium and the low affinity transport system played the major role in this regulation. Mutants were isolated that lack the low...
