Bacterial fluoride resistance, Fluc channels, and the weak acid accumulation effect

Fluoride ion (F(−)) is a ubiquitous environmental threat to microorganisms, which have evolved a family of highly selective “Fluc” F(−) channels that export this inhibitory anion from their cytoplasm. It is unclear, however, how a thermodynamically passive mechanism like an ion channel can protect a...
