Abstract
This paper describes a third type of transport-defective ecf mutant of Escherichia coli which is altered in membrane proton permeability. Mutants of this class also excrete ATP and other nucleotides and form filament-like cells. This lesion requires cell growth at the nonpermissive temperature.
