Kup-mediated Cs+ uptake and Kdp-driven K+ uptake coordinate to promote cell growth during excess Cs+ conditions in Escherichia coli

Abstract The physiological effects of caesium (Cs) on living cells are poorly understood. Here, we examined the physiological role of Cs+ on the activity of the potassium transporters in E. coli. In the absence of potassium (K+), Kup-mediated Cs+ uptake partially supported cell growth, however, at a...
