Stimulatory effects of subgerminal concentrations of alanine and inosine
| Germinant | Maximum rate of germination (% of initial OD lost per min) after preincubation witha:
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
| No addition | l-Alanine (10 μM) | Inosine (1 μM) | |
| None | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| l-Alanine (100 mM) | 7.6 ± 2.3 | 6.8 ± 0.8 | 38.6 ± 0.8 |
| Inosine (5 mM) | 30.6 ± 1.0 | 91.9 ± 4.7 | 32.6 ± 2.2 |
Preincubation was for 15 min before addition of the main germinant. Results are the means ± standard deviations of three independent experiments.
