Abstract
Summary: Respiration-driven H+ translocation has been examined in an eup (‘energy uncoupled phenotype’) mutant of Escherichia coli and compared with that observed in its otherwise isogenic wildtype parent. Respiration-driven H+ translocation was unimpaired in the eup mutant strain. It appears that the role of the eup gene product lies in the utilization of energized protons pumped across the E. coli cytoplasmic membrane.Keywords
