Figure 10From: Multidrug resistance protein MdtM adds to the repertoire of antiporters involved in alkaline pH homeostasis in Escherichia coli Measurements of cytoplasmic pH. (A) Calibration plot that correlates the 490 nm/440 nm fluorescence emission ratio of BCECF-AM upon excitation at 530 nm to pH. (B) Intracellular pH of E. coli BW25113 ΔmdtM cells transformed with pMdtM or pD22A as a function of external alkaline pH. In both (A) and (B) the data points and error bars represent the mean ± SD of three independent measurements.Back to article page
