title: [The nature of H+-K+-exchange in anaerobically and aerobically grown S. typhimurium].
abstract: H+-K+-exchange via the Trk-like system of K+ accumulation takes place in anaerobically grown S. typhimurium LT-2 with stable ratio of DCC-sensitive ionic fluxes, equal to 2H+ of a cell for one K+ of the medium. This exchange is now observed in the mutant S. typhimurium TH-31 with unfunctional H+-ATPase. H+-K+-exchange in aerobically grown S. typhimurium LT-2 has unstable ratio of ionic fluxes. The rate of K+ uptake in anaerobically grown bacteria is higher than that in the aerobically grown ones. Q10 is about 1.8 both for H+ transfer and K+ uptake in anaerobically grown bacteria, but it is 1.7 and 0.9 respectively in the aerobically grown ones. Delta psi is not changed by different temperatures both in anaerobically and aerobically grown bacteria. The distribution of K+ in anaerobically grown bacteria is higher than 10(3) and the potassium equilibrium potential is much higher than the measured delta psi. In aerobically grown bacteria the distribution of K+ is in good conformity with the measured delta psi. H+ and K+ transport in anaerobically grown cells is likely to proceed by the same mechanism, which includes H+-ATPase and the Trk-like system. In aerobically grown bacteria these transport systems work separately, and the Trk-like system as K+-ionophore serving for K+ uptake across the electrical field on the membrane.
