In anaerobic suspensions of Escherichia coli, after H(+) ions have been translocated outwards across the plasma membrane by a respiratory pulse, re-equilibration is catalysed by Na(+). The sudden addition of a Na(+) salt causes the effective outward translocation of H(+) by an electroneutral process. We conclude that the plasma membrane of E. coli contains a Na(+)/H(+) antiport system that normally translocates Na(+) outwards under the influence of an inwardly directed H(+)-activity gradient.
在大肠杆菌的厌氧悬浮液中,氢离子通过呼吸脉冲跨质膜向外转运后,重新平衡由钠离子催化。突然添加钠盐会通过电中性过程导致氢离子有效地向外转运。我们得出结论,大肠杆菌的质膜含有一种钠/氢反向转运系统,该系统通常在向内的氢离子活性梯度的影响下将钠离子向外转运。
