Abstract excerpt
Kdp, an inducible high-affinity K+ transporter in Escherichia coli, is encoded by genes of the kdpABC operon, and its expression is regulated by the products of kdpD and kdpE. Loss of cell turgor has been proposed to be the signal which induces kdp expression (L. A. Laimins, D. B. Rhoads, and W....
