P.196 right column bottom paragraph: "In the quantitative interpretation of these experiments at low temperature, the boundary layer outside of the cells presents a significant barrier to the diffusion of CO2, on the same order as the plasmalemma itself. This importance of boundary layer, which results from the two‐fold decrease in the diffusion coefficient of CO2 between 20 and 0°C (Boudreau, 1997), makes [investigators'] estimation of the membrane permeability to CO2 relatively imprecise, with a minimal permeability c. 10‐fold lower than the best estimate (best estimate: 2.4 × 10^−1 cm/s, minimal estimate: 3.7 × 10^−2 cm/s)." |
