Some effects of sugars and sugar phosphates on carbon dioxide fixation by isolated chloroplasts

Abstract

1. Carbon dioxide fixation by isolated pea chloroplasts was stimulated by the addition of intermediates of the Calvin photosynthesis cycle and by some related compounds. 2. Ribose 5-phosphate and fructose 1,6-diphosphate consistently produced the largest effects; free sugars such as erythrose and sedoheptulose and acids such as glycollate and glyoxylate were largely ineffective or even inhibitory. 3. Small effects were produced by fructose and ribose but not by their isomers, glucose and xylose. 4. Maximal rates in the presence of ribose 5-phosphate varied between 10 and 50μmoles of carbon dioxide fixed/mg. of chlorophyll/hr.
