Cloning and characterization of MgtE, a putative new class of Mg2+ transporter from Bacillus firmus OF4.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Mar 1995

Smith R L, Thompson L J, Maguire M E

Abstract excerpt

The MM281 strain of Salmonella typhimurium which possesses mutations in each its three known Mg2+ transport systems and requires 100 mM Mg2+ for growth was used to screen a genomic library from the gram-positive alkaliphilic bacterium Bacillus firmus OF4 for clones that could restore the ability to grow without Mg2+ supplementation. Of the clones obtained, five also conferred sensitivity to Co2+, similar to the...
