Bypassing the periplasm: reconstitution of the AcrAB multidrug efflux pump of Escherichia coli.

abstract：:Climate change is expected to influence the capacities of the land and oceans to act as repositories for anthropogenic CO2 and hence provide a feedback to climate change. A series of experiments with the National Center for Atmospheric Research-Climate System Model 1 coupled carbon-climate model shows that carbon sink...
