Chilling Susceptibility of the Blue-green Alga Anacystis nidulans: II. STIMULATION OF THE PASSIVE PERMEABILITY OF CYTOPLASMIC MEMBRANE AT CHILLING TEMPERATURES 1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Potassium ions and amino acids were found to leak from the cytoplasm to the outer medium when the blue-green alga, Anacystis nidulans, was exposed to the chilling temperatures. The leakage was marked below the critical temperature regions, the midpoint values for which were around 5 and 14 C in cells grown at 28 and 38 C, respectively. These temperature regions coincided with those critical for the susceptibility of the photosynthetic activities and the carotenoid absorption spectrum previously studied (Ono TA, N Murata 1981 Plant Physiol 67: 176-181).
