A Bacillus Flagellar Motor That Can Use Both Na(+) and K(+) as a Coupling Ion Is Converted by a Single Mutation to Use Only Na(+)
In bacteria, the sodium ion (Na(+)) cycle plays a critical role in negotiating the challenges of an extremely alkaline and sodium-rich environment. Alkaliphilic bacteria that grow optimally at high pH values use Na(+) for solute uptake and flagellar rotation because the proton (H(+)) motive force is...
