The transport systems of the extreme halophilic organisms, Halobacterium and Halococcus, differ to a considerable degree in the kinetic parameters of succinate and fumarate transport, the exchange between exocellular and endocellular labeled dicarboxylates, and the rate at which labeled compounds in the cell are incorporated into cellular metabolism.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008293	Malates	Derivatives of malic acid (the structural formula: (COO-)2CH2CHOH), including its salts and esters.
D003998	Dicarboxylic Acids	Acyclic acids that contain two carboxyl groups and have the formula HO2C-R-CO2H, where R may be an aromatic or aliphatic group.	Acids, Dicarboxylic
D005650	Fumarates	Compounds based on fumaric acid.	Fumarate,Fumaric Acid Ester,Fumaric Acid Esters,Fumarate Esters,Acid Ester, Fumaric,Acid Esters, Fumaric,Ester, Fumaric Acid,Esters, Fumarate,Esters, Fumaric Acid
D006216	Halobacteriaceae	A family of extremely halophilic archaea found in environments with high salt concentrations, such as salt lakes, evaporated brines, or salted fish. Halobacteriaceae are either obligate aerobes or facultative anaerobes and are divided into at least twenty-six genera including: HALOARCULA; HALOBACTERIUM; HALOCOCCUS; HALOFERAX; HALORUBRUM; NATRONOBACTERIUM; and NATRONOCOCCUS.
D006217	Halobacterium	A genus of HALOBACTERIACEAE whose growth requires a high concentration of salt. Binary fission is by constriction.
D001692	Biological Transport	The movement of materials (including biochemical substances and drugs) through a biological system at the cellular level. The transport can be across cell membranes and epithelial layers. It also can occur within intracellular compartments and extracellular compartments.

D013386	Succinates	Derivatives of SUCCINIC ACID. Included under this heading are a broad variety of acid forms, salts, esters, and amides that contain a 1,4-carboxy terminated aliphatic structure.	Succinic Acids,Acids, Succinic
