Energy Conservation During the Formate-Dependent Reduction of Nitrite by Escherichia coli

The authors report that a membrane potential, developed as a result of this reaction, can readily be detected by following with an ion-specific electrode the uptake into cells of the lipophilic butyltriphenylphosphonium cation (BTPP super(+)).
