title: Membrane integration of carbohydrate transport in bacteria.
abstract: A system is described which permits bacteria to couple their intermediary metabolism to the available carbon supply. This system transports carbohydrates vectorially, with concomitant phosphorylation. A phosphorylation cascade is responsible for the coupling with metabolism through control of permeation of other carbon sources and synthesis of modulators such as cAMP.
