Streptococcus faecalis proton gradients and tetracycline transport.
The transport of chlortetracycline by Streptococcus faecalis is energy dependent. Addition of glucose to energy-depleted cells enhances both the transport rates and accumulation levels. Transport rates can be altered independently of glucose by treating cells with ionophores that increase or decrease the proton gradient. The transport of the antibiotic is linked only to the transmembrane pH dif...
متن کاملSodium/proton antiporter in Streptococcus faecalis.
Streptococcus faecalis, like other bacteria, accumulates potassium ions and expels sodium ions. This paper is concerned with the pathway of sodium extrusion. Earlier studies (D.L. Heefner and F.M. Harold, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 79:2798-2802, 1982) showed that sodium extrusion is effected by a primary, ATP-linked sodium pump. I report here that cells grown under conditions in which sodium AT...
متن کاملProton Gradients and Proton-Dependent Transport Processes in the Chloroplast
Proton gradients are fundamental to chloroplast function. Across thylakoid membranes, the light induced -proton gradient is essential for ATP synthesis. As a result of proton pumping into the thylakoid lumen, an alkaline stromal pH develops, which is required for full activation of pH-dependent Calvin Benson cycle enzymes. This implies that a pH gradient between the cytosol (pH 7) and the strom...
متن کاملTransport of aminophosphonic acids in Lactobacillus plantarum and Streptococcus faecalis.
Aminophosphonic acids analogous to glutamic acid, aspartic acid, alanine, and valine were actively accumulated by Lactobacillus plantarum. Uptake was dependent on the availability of glucose and, in all cases, the estimated intracellular concentrations substantially exceeded extracellular levels. During uptake, there was little metabolism of tritiated 2-amino-3-phosphonopropionic acid (APP), th...
متن کاملaureus, and Streptococcus faecalis
SYNOPSIS The incidence of trimethoprim resistance in coliforms and multiresistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated in Bristol from 1970 to 1972 is low-2-3 and 1 0% respectively. The resistance is probably intrinsic; there is no evidence that it is R-factor or plasmid mediated. A single mechanism that confers resistance to both trimethoprim and sulphamethoxazole has not been detected. N...
