| Method |
Growth was performed in supplemented M9 medium with glycerol and electron transfer acceptors as described in ref. pH difference was determined by silicone oil centrifugation, and radiolabelled benzoate was mixed with cell suspensions. From the distribution of benzoate, Delta pH = log[benzoate(in)]/[benzoate(ex)] was calculated (in, internal ex, external) |
| Comments |
High value (0.3 pH units) for growth on (Glycerol + O2) substrate, corresponds to a -20 mV difference of electric potential (of Benzoate ion). Low value (0.18 pH units) for fermentative growth on Glucose corresponds to a -12mV difference of electric potential (of Benzoate ion). pH electric potential difference calculated from: pH potential difference=2.3×(RT/F)×?pH. R-gas constant,F-Faraday constant, T-temperature Kelvin (336 degrees), range of ?pH=0.18-0.3. |
