Characterization of a calcium porter of Streptococcus pneumoniae involved in calcium regulation of growth and competence.

Journal of general microbiology - 1 Mar 1993

Trombe M C

Abstract excerpt

It is shown that Streptococcus pneumoniae possesses a Ca2+ transporter, sensitive to the amiloride derivative 2',4'-dimethylbenzamil (DMB), which is essential for grown at high Ca(2+)-concentrations, and which mediates the triggering by Ca2+ of competence for genetic transformation in the exponential phase and autolysis in the late exponential phase. DMB inhibited both Ca2+ transport and the Ca2+ response....
