| Method |
Primary source Heldt et al., abstract: "From the uptake of dimethyloxazolidinedione and of methylamine into the sucrose-impermeable space of intact spinach chloroplasts as measured by siliconlayer filtering centrifugation and from estimation of the size of the thylakoid space by planimetry of electron micrographs the pH in the stroma and in the thylakoid space is evaluated. The reliability of the method is checked." Primary source Anning et al., abstract: "Measurements of the cytosolic and intra-coccolith vesicle pH and electrical potentials across the plasma membrane and coccolith vesicle membrane allow calculations of the proton electrochemical gradients across these membranes and estimates of the free carbonate and calcium concentrations in the coccolith vesicle." |

P.230 left column bottom paragraph: "This pH is within the range of measured stromal pH values (~7.5–8.5) in plants and algae (primary sources)." |
