Bacterial Membrane Potential

Molecular classification
Electrochemical Gradient, Bioenergetic Parameter
01

Overview

Bacterial membrane potential is the difference in electric potential between the interior and exterior of a bacterial cell. It is a fundamental bioenergetic parameter crucial for energizing key cellular processes such as transport, ATP synthesis, motility, and cell division. Many antibiotics target bacterial membranes or alter their permeability/conductivity, making changes in transmembrane potential an indicator of antibiotic action.
