Selective Nutrient Transport in Bacteria: Multicomponent Transporter Systems Reign Supreme

Multicomponent transporters are used by bacteria to transport a wide range of nutrients. These systems use a substrate-binding protein to bind the nutrient with high affinity and then deliver it to a membrane-bound transporter for uptake. Nutrient uptake pathways are linked to the colonisation poten...
