Abstract

Models of ion transport in microorganisms, plants and their compartments have been considered. A model of the regulation of ion transport in changing extracellular concentrations has also been constructed. In contrast to animal cells, microorganisms can survive when a large concentration gradient exists between the inside and the outside of the cell and when significant ion concentration changes occur in the environment.
