Abstract excerpt
The overproduction of Na+/H+ antiporter NhaA in Escherichia coli caused growth retardation. Quantities and the activity of the antiporter were studied for their causative roles in terms of this retardation. We constructed a series of nhaA-expression plasmids differing in their transcriptional and translational efficiencies. Low-level nhaA expression complemented the defect of an nhaA mutant and allowed the mutant...
