The haloarchaeon Haloferax volcanii grows on acetate as sole carbon and energy source. The genes and proteins involved in uptake and activation of acetate and in gluconeogenesis were identified and analyzed by characterization of enzymes and by growth experiments with the respective deletion mutants. (i) An acetate transporter of the sodium solute-symporter family (SSF) was characterized by kinetic analyses of acetate uptake into H. volcanii cells. The functional involvement of the transporter was proven with a Δssf m
