All forms of life require Mg2+. Two of the proteins used by bacteria to import Mg2+ from the environment are CorA and MgtA. CorA is a uniport and does not hydrolyze ATP (or perform a similar chemical process). and thus engages in primary active transport. # MgtA, on the other hand, is a P-type ATPase (like the SERCA pump), and thus engages in secondary active transport.
