The molecular mechanism of regulation of the NhaA NaC/H+ antiporter of Escherichiu coli, a key transporter in the adaptation to Na+ and H+Bacterial energetics at high pH: what happens to the H+ cycle when the extracellular H+ concentration decreases?; Proton ATPases in bacteria: comparison to Escherichia coli FIFO as the prototype; Cation movements at alkaline pH in bacteria growing without respiration; Final general discussion; Summary; Index of contributors; Subject index
Sommario/riassunto: Microbial responses to acidic and alkaline pH are important in many areas of bacteriology. For example, the mechanisms of resistance to acidic pH are important in the understanding of the passage of human pathogens through the acid of the stomach; and an understanding of microbial degradation of alkaline industrial waste is important for the environment.Bringing together contributions from an international and interdisciplinary group of experts working on the many aspects of bacterial cellular responses to pH, this stimulating volume draws together new and innovative work in this area.
