Abstract
A gene which was shown to be cotranscribed with the NAD(+)-dependent m alic enzyme gene (maeE) of Streptoccus bovis ATCC 15352 was revealed t o encode L-malate-specific permease (MaeP), which showed high activity at low pHs (pH 5.1 to 5.9), MaeP was strongly inhibited by the ionoph ores nigericin and valinomycin.
