Metal ion uptake by a plasmid-free metal-sensitive Alcaligenes eutrophus strain.

D H Nies 1, S Silver 1
PMCID: PMC210165  PMID: 2472382

Abstract

The divalent metal cations of zinc, cadmium, cobalt, nickel, and manganese are transported into cells of Alcaligenes eutrophus strain AE104 by the energy-dependent magnesium transport system. Chromate is transported by the sulfate uptake system.
