Uptake of monoaromatic hydrocarbons during biodegradation by FadL channel-mediated lateral diffusion

The uptake of hydrophobic molecules by bacterial FadL channels is implicated in quorum sensing, interactions with eukaryotic hosts and biodegradation of many pollutants. Insights into monoaromatic hydrocarbon uptake by TodX and CymD channels suggest that all FadL channels mediate substrate uptake vi...
