Cation Transport in Escherichia coli
Open accessAbstract
Measurement of cellular K and Na concentrations in growing Escherichia coli indicates that the osmololity of the medium is a major determinant of the cell K concentration. In contrast, the cell Na concentration is independent of the medium osmolality and is largely dependent on the Na concentration of the medium. Sudden changes in the osmolality of the medium lead to rapid changes in K content. Washing the cells with solutions of lower osmolality results in a very rapid loss of K, which is greater in more dilute and in cold solutions. A sudden increase in the osmolality of the growth medium produces a rapid uptake of K by a mechanism whose rate is a saturable function of the K concentration of the medium and which appears to involve an exchange of K for cellular H.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
