pH induced active ("uphill") liquid membrane transport of ferrioxamine B by the ionizable ionophore lasalocid
Active transport of the siderophore ferrioxamine B by the ionizable ionophore lasalocid, driven by the pH difference in two aqueous phases separated by an artificial membrane, was observed with an average flux of 1.52 x 10(-11) mol s(-1) cm(-2).
