Osmoregulation in <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> under potassium limitation: a new inducible K<sup>+</sup>-stimulated, VO<sub>4</sub><sup>3–</sup>-inhibited ATPase
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Bacillus subtilis exhibited an inducible K+-transporting ATPase activity with apparent Km and maximum velocity Vmax of 12.9 microM and 25.1 micromol x min(-1) x (g cell protein)(-1), respectively, when cultivated on a synthetic medium containing less than 400 microM K+. Due to this enzyme, the growth rate of the bacterium in synthetic medium was not changed down to 115 microM K+, and the bacterium was able to grow down to 20 microM K+. The limiting K+ concentration was higher in media with osmolarity increased by NaCl or sucrose. The ATPase was inhibited by micromolar concentrations of vanadate (Ki = 1.6 microM). The ATPase activity was not stimulated by any other monovalent cation. The subunit of this ATPase, with an Mr of 52000, covalently bound the gamma phosphate group of ATP. This phosphorylated intermediate was unstable in neutral and basic pH as well as in the presence of potassium and was stable in acid pH. The enzyme did not show immunological cross-reactivity with antibody against Kdp ATPase of Escherichia coli.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
