Abstract
Utilizing non-metabolizable substrates as valuable tools to differentiate between transport and subsequent metabolism, the possibility was explored whether there was a relationship between the sodium requirement by marine bacterial cella for growth and a sodium requirement for uptake of substrates. Various aspects of the transport phenomenen in these organisms were studied and the following findings are claimed to constitute a contribution to knowledge. [...]
