We investigated the nature of the light-induced, sodium-dependent acidification of the medium and the uptake of sodium by Synechococcus. The rate of acidification (net H(+) efflux) was strongly and specifically stimulated by sodium. The rates of acidification and sodium uptake were strongly affected by the pH of the medium; the optimal pH for both processes being in the alkaline pH range. Net proton efflux was severely inhibited by inhibitors of adenosine triphosphatase activity, energy transfer, and photosynthetic electron transport, but was not affected by the presence of inorganic carbon (C(i)). Light and C(i) stimulated the uptake of sodium, but the stimulation by C(i) was observed only when C(i) was present at the time sodium was provided. Amiloride, a potent inhibitor of Na(+)/H(+) antiport and Na(+) channels, stimulated the rate of acidification but inhibited the rate of sodium uptake. It is suggested that acidification might stem from the activity of a light dependent proton excreting adenosine triphosphatase, while sodium transport seems to be mediated by both Na(+)/H(+) antiport and Na(+) uniport.
