Abstract
A summary, cum speculation, of the major bioenergetic characteristics of alkalophilic bacilli is presented in Figure 5. Further progress will depend heavily on the purification and characterization of the relevant proteins that catalyze the ion fluxes and on the development of much more potent genetic approaches to the outstanding issues of this interesting group of bacteria.Keywords
