Overview

Aimed at microbiologists, cell biologists, molecular biologists, biochemists, chemotherapists, and researchers interested in bioenergetics, this book brings together the physiological, structural and molecular biological aspects of the transport of sodium, potassium and ammonium across the bacterial cell membrane. Sodium translocation plays a major role in energy coupling of some prokaryotes, and this book emphsizes developments in this field.
