ABC solute importers in bacteria.

The bacterial ABC (ATP-binding cassette) importers mediate nutrient uptake and some are essential for survival in environments where nutrients are limited, such as in the human body. Although ABC importers exhibit remarkable versatility in the substrates that they can transport, they appear to share a similar multisubunit architecture and mechanism of energization by ATP hydrolysis. This chapte...

Regulation of compatible solute accumulation in bacteria.

In their natural habitats, microorganisms are often exposed to osmolality changes in the environment. The osmotic stress must be sensed and converted into an activity change of specific enzymes and transport proteins and/or it must trigger their synthesis such that the osmotic imbalance can be rapidly restored. On the basis of the available literature, we conclude that representative gram-negat...

Extraction of model parameters for reactive solute transport

In the present study, tried to examine the reactive solute relationships for transport and degradation processes through the rockfill media. By applying the analytical solution of reactive transport, the 1st to 3rd theoretical temporal moments have been extracted then, by using two methods of curve fitting and temporal moment matching, the coefficients of dispersion and degradation have been ex...
