Table II. Respiratory O2 uptake in darkness by Synechocystis WT and ΔLepB1 strains - effect of PCP and DBMIB. All rates are given as μmol O2 h−1 (ml at OD 730 = 1)−1 ± standard deviation, measured in the presence of 5 mm glucose. Values in parentheses are expressed as percentage of control rate.
| Addition | Rate of respiration |
|
|---|---|---|
| WT | ΔLepB1 | |
| Control | 0.090 ± 0.002 (100) | 0.087 ± 0.002 (100) |
| 3 mm PCP | 0.018 ± 0.003 (20) | 0.035 ± 0.001 (40) |
| 10 μm DBMIB | 0.122 ± 0.001 (136) | 0.205 ± 0.002 (236) |
| 40 μm DBMIB | 0.130 ± 0.003 (144) | 0.291 ± 0.004 (334) |
