    Abstract

    During the last few years the studies about the physiology and bioenergetics of lactic acid bacteria during growth and starvation have evolved from a descriptive level to an analysis of the molecular events in the regulation of various processes. Considerable progress has been made in the understanding of the modes of metabolic energy generation, the mechanism of homeostasis of the internal pH, and the mechanism and regulatory processes of transport systems for sugars, amino acids, peptides, and ions. Detailed studies of these transport processes have been performed in cytoplasmic membrane vesicles of these organisms in which a foreign proton pump has been introduced to generate a high proton motive force.
