A-007 was specifically dependent on the Na+ gradient (outside high). The nutrients were co-transported with Na+, the process being stimulated by alkaline pH. In addition to the transport process, binding of glutamate to membrane vesicles was also pH- and Na+-dependent. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-128-5-1057
