Exaggerated trans-membrane charge of ammonium transporters in nutrient-poor marine environments

Transporter proteins are a vital interface between cells and their environment. In nutrient-limited environments, microbes with transporters that are effective at bringing substrates into their cells will gain a competitive advantage over variants with reduced transport function. Microbial ammonium...
