The concentration of radiolabeled melibiose in transport assays was 0.2 mM, and values given represent transport at 15 min. Each value is given as the ratio of intracellular melibiose concentration to the extracellular melibiose concentration. Transport values were calculated assuming 0.4 μl of intracellular water for every 109 cells. The data are averages of at least two separate experiments with duplicate determinations in each experiment ± standard errors.
