Detection of Specific Strains and Variants of Streptococcus cremoris in Mixed Cultures by Immunofluorescence.
TL;DR: The described immunofluorescence methods can be used to analyze complex mixed starter cultures common in the dairy industry as the strains and variants present in these mixtures can be recognized microscopically.

Energetics of wild-type and mutant multidrug resistance secondary transporter LmrP of Lactococcus lactis.
TL;DR: It is shown that neither Glu327 nor Asp142 is essential for ethidium binding but that Glu325 is a critical residue for the high affinity binding of Hoechst 33342, and that Asp 142 and Glu 327 are involved in proton translocation.

The structure of glutamate transporters shows channel‐like features
TL;DR: Neuronal and glial glutamate transporters remove the excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate from the synaptic cleft and thus prevent neurotoxicity and include a highly amphipathic membrane‐spanning α‐helix that provides a hydrophilic path through the membrane.

Glutamate transporters combine transporter- and channel-like features
TL;DR: The available data on the structure of the glutamate transporters are compared with high-resolution crystal structures of channel proteins, and binding-site properties of glutamate transporter, and the ligand-binding site of an ionotropic glutamate receptor of which the crystal structure is known, are compared.

Insertion of lipids and proteins into bacterial membranes by fusion with liposomes.
TL;DR: A method has been developed in the laboratory that allows the fusion-mediated insertion of a variety of delta p-generating systems into bacterial membranes while energy conserving properties of the membrane are retained.
