Abstract
The effect of inhibitors and uncouplers on the osmotic shock‐sensitive transport systems for glutamine and galactose (by the β‐methyl galactoside permease) was compared to their effect on the osmotic shock‐resistant proline and galactose permease systems in cytochrome‐deficient cells of Salmonella typhimurium SASY28. Both osmotic shock‐sensitive and ‐resistant systems were sensitive to uncouplers and to inhibitors of the membrane‐bound Ca^2+^, Mg^2+^‐activated adenosine triphosphatase. This suggests that uptake by both types of systems is energized in these cells by an electrochemical gradient of protons formed by ATP hydrolysis through the ATPase.
