P.163 4th paragraph: "Construction and maintenance of the chemical K+ gradient across the membrane rely on glucose utilization by the organisms. Thus, both processes are associated with a high increase in acid production rate of which 30% is accounted for by lactic acid production. It is to be noted that K+-rich cells produce 30% more acid than K+-depleted organisms (Table I)." |
| Comments |
P.163 5th paragraph: "In contrast to pyruvate and L-lactate, neither acetate, succinate or 2-ketoglutarate activated K+ transport. Also, no K+ transport was observed after addition of energy-rich compounds such as ATP, acetyl-phosphate
or the electron donor system phenazine methosulfate/ascorbate mixture.
Finally, it was noted that the increase in acid production correlates with the
ability to drive K+ transport across the membrane for each substrate tested
(Table I)." |
