Abstract
Tetracycline transport by Streptococcus faecalis occurs by an energy-dependent, carrier-mediated process. The Michaelis constant for transport was unchanged, but the maximal velocity was increased when an energy source, glucose, was present. Accumulation levels, sometimes 25-fold greater than the external concentration, were controlled by the transport system.
