Hello! I just read about ATP synthesis in bacteria, which use the proton gradient on the membrane to synthesize ATP. They establish this gradient ... the medium to produce ATP? In this case it would just need an electron acceptor on the inner side of the membrane to keep the cellular pH neutral, ...
