Table 1.
Averaged concentrations of selected elements in mitochondria.

The top group of rows refers to total mitochondrial concentrations. The second group refers to previous reports of metal concentrations in fermenting yeast mitochondria. The third group refers to LMM species only. The bottom group indicates the percent of each selected element that is found in mitochondria as LMM species (based on data from the current study).
Fe concentration from Miao et al.15 (1190 μM) was excluded.
Cu concentration from Hudder et al.48 (220 μM) was excluded because cells were grown under respiration conditions where cytochrome c oxidase levels are higher.
In the Mo column, Y refers to yeast and M to mammalian mitochondria. Numbers in the bottom row are given as percentage, not concentrations.
