Glucose arguably is the most important energy carrier, carbon source for metabolites and
building block for biopolymers in all kingdoms of life. The proper function of animal organs …

Glucose is the classical carbon source that is used to investigate the transport, metabolism,
and regulation of nutrients in bacteria. Many physiological phenomena like nutrient …

We describe here 20 families of secondary (pmf‐driven) carriers which, in addition to nine
families within the ATP‐dependent ABC superfamily, and seven families of Gram‐negative …

For the general physiologist, almost all processes begin at the cell surface. Osmoregulation,
excitability, muscle contraction, propagation of the nerve impulse, intestinal absorption …

ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, although being ubiquitous in biology, often feature
a subunit that is limited primarily to bacteria and archaea. This subunit, the substrate-binding …

The cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria is the matrix for metabolic energy transducing
processes such as proton motive force generation and solute transport. Passive permeation …

The genomes of eleven Gram-positive bacteria that are important for human health and the
food industry, nine low G+ C lactic acid bacteria and two high G+ C Gram-positive …

The cell membranes of various bacteria contain proton-linked transport systems for d-xylose,
l-arabinose, d-galactose, d-glucose, l-rhamnose, l-fucose, lactose, and melibiose. The …

Bacteria synthesize and secrete an array of complex carbohydrates including
exopolysaccharides (EPSs), capsular polysaccharides (CPSs), lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) …

Mannose transporters constitute a superfamily (Man-PTS) of the Phosphoenolpyruvate
Carbohydrate Phosphotransferase System (PTS). The membrane complexes are …
