Microbial K+ channels

A survey of the currently available genomes shows that K+ channels are found in most free-living bacteria, archaea and protists, indicating early evolution before the divergences of the three major domains of life. This article is a summary on microbial K+ channels, as gleaned from genome survey and...

Zusammenfassung:	A survey of the currently available genomes shows that K+ channels are found in most free-living bacteria, archaea and protists, indicating early evolution before the divergences of the three major domains of life. This article is a summary on microbial K+ channels, as gleaned from genome survey and limited experimentations.
