Abstract
Increasing the Na+ concentration from sub-millimolar levels to 50 mM s timulated the growth of Escherichia coli cells in the presence of the protonophorous uncoupler carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone. The half-maximal effect was observed at 1 mM Na+. Decreasing inorganic ph osphate concentration from tens of millimoles to 0.5 mM lowered cell g rowth under these conditions.
