| Method | Cells were grown in low-phosphate minimal medium (21) containing 10µg of thiamine per ml, 20 µg of L-histidine per ml, and 0.2% glucose. Where indicated, 20 mM sodium nitrate or 0.1 mM sodium molybdate was included. Mo was measured by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. Molarity of molybdenum in whole cells was calculated by estimating cell volume as 1.6e-15 liter (ref 18) and dry weight of one cell as 2.8e-13 g (ref 15 BNID 103904). |
| Comments | For Mo values under varying conditions see 2nd column in table. Strain SA302 is the one closest to the wild type. See BNID 100136 |
