title: The Na(+)-motive respiratory chain of marine bacteria.
abstract: The respiratory chain of the marine bacterium Vibrio alginolyticus pumps out Na+ at the NADH:quinone oxidoreductase segment. The respiratory Na+ pump plays an important role in the bioenergetics of this bacterium by generating a sodium-motive force as a direct result of respiration in alkaline Na(+)-rich environments.
