Escherichia coli K-12 strains in the absence of the lactose carrier grew on the disaccharide melibiose as the sole source of carbon. The presence of 0.1 mM Li+ in the medium strongly inhibited growth of such cells, and Li+-resistant mutants appeared after several days of incubation. These mutants showed altered cation coupling to melibiose transport via the melibiose carrier. Cotransport between H+ and melibiose was lost in the mutants, although Na+-melibiose cotransport was retained. We observed no Li+-melibiose cotransport. Therefore, these mutants represent a new type of cation-coupling mutants of the melibiose carrier.
在缺乏乳糖载体的情况下,大肠杆菌K - 12菌株能够以二糖蜜二糖作为唯一碳源生长。培养基中存在0.1 mM的Li +会强烈抑制此类细胞的生长,孵育几天后出现了Li +抗性突变体。这些突变体显示出通过蜜二糖载体与蜜二糖转运的阳离子偶联发生了改变。尽管保留了Na + - 蜜二糖共转运,但在突变体中H +与蜜二糖之间的共转运丧失了。我们未观察到Li + - 蜜二糖共转运。因此,这些突变体代表了蜜二糖载体的一种新型阳离子偶联突变体。
