This allows the bacterium to maintain an internal environment different from theexternal….
1- Metabolites could be maintained at an intracellular concentrationthat is orders of magnitude higher than the extracellularconcentration.
A- rapid enzymatic reactions.
B- retention of metabolic intermediates within the cell.
2- Minimizes the passive diffusion of ions.
A- maintain the electrochemical proton and sodiumion gradient.
1- ATP synthesis2- solute transport
This implies that:
All water soluble molecules must enter and leave the cellthrough…

Energy-dependent transport
Primary transport systems: driven by an energy-producing metabolic event,include proton translocation drive by ATP, light, or OX-RED Rxn.
1- Na ion transporting decarboxylases2- uptake of organic or inorganic solutes3- uptake of sugars
Secondary transport systems: driven by electrochemical gradients.
ATP- binding cassette (ABC) transporters

ATP-drive K+ influx
Potassium is the principal cation in bacteria….. It play a role in:
Osmotic homeostasis, pH homeostasis, is a cofactor for many enzymes and ribosomes.
There are 2 transport systems:There are 2 transport systems:
1- TrK system (major route) is constitutively expressed and operatesat high rates but low affinity (Km ~ 2 mM).
2- Kdp system it depends on the salt-osmolarity of the medium, it has avery low Km ~ 2 µM
The phosphotransferase system
Accumulates carbohydrates as the phosphorylated derivative.
This system is lacking in aerobes for the most part and it does not existin archaea and eukaryotes
This is a group translocation system!!! And not active transport.
How to determine the source of energy for transport
Does it use ATP or ∆p??
We must do certain things before we ca determine this!!
1- inactivated the ATP synthase….How?
a- use ATP synthase mutants
b- DCCD (N,N’-diclohexylcorbodi-imide
2- perturbing the intracellular levels of ATP…..How?
a- starve the cell
b- add an inhibitor like arsenate (substrate level P)
c- to increase ATP, add glucose but limit respirationusing the inhibitor cyanide.
3- perturbing the ∆p……How?
a- using Ionophores
B- addition of substrates that feed electrons to the e- transport chain
Drug-export systemThey are an important way by which bacteria become resistant to
antimicrobial agents. (antibiotics, dyes, detergents, disinfectants,and antiseptics.)
Two types: 1) dedicated and 2) multidrug
In M. tuberculosis, the TAP system pumps out both:1) aminoglycosides (gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, netilmicin, paromomycin, streptomycin, tobramycin and apramycin. 2) tetracycline

MDR system
Major classes: primary and secondary
The primary systems are energized by ATP hydrolysis.
They use an ABC transporter!
Membrane fusionProtein (AcrA)
The secondary systems are energized by proton antiport or sodium!
