Application of thermostable reaction centers from Chloroflexus aurantiacus as a protonmotive force generating system

Na+-coupled versus H+-coupled energy transduction in bacteria

“…Recently, we have studied the chemiosmotic processes in the anaerobic thermophilic bacterium Clostridium fervidus [9][10][11]. It was demonstrated that this bacterium does not support a H ÷ cycle (class 3).…”
