Relationship between cell wall, cytoplasmic membrane, and bacterial motility.

abstract：:By using the isotope pairs (22)Na-(24)Na and (42)K-(86)Rb, the uptake and retention of Na and K was studied in the salt-tolerant Debaryomyces hansenii and in the less tolerant Saccharomyces cerevisiae at NaCl levels of 4 mm and 0.68, 1.35, and 2.7 m in the medium. The ratio of K to Na is much higher in the cells than ...
