Fluorescence measurement of intracellular sodium concentration in single Escherichia coli cells.
The energy-transducing cytoplasmic membrane of bacteria contains pumps and antiports maintaining the membrane potential and ion gradients. We have developed a method for rapid, single-cell measurement of the internal sodium concentration ([Na(+)](in)) in Escherichia coli using the sodium ion fluores...
