Modulation of Adenylate Energy Charge During the Swarmer Cycle of Hyphomicrobium neptunium

Mary A Emala 1,†, Ronald M Weiner 1
PMCID: PMC221811  PMID: 6826528

Abstract

Adenylate energy charge was measured in the budding bacterium Hyphomicrobium neptunium through the course of the swarmer cycle. The energy charge was modulated, being low in swarm cells (0.64) and in cells initiating bud formation (0.57), an event which coincides with a round of DNA replication.
