Evolution of intracellular methyl-β-d-glucopyranoside in sycamore cells incubated with 5 mm [¹³C]methanol at pH 6.0, determined from in vivo ¹³C-NMR spectra. Note that methyl-β-d-glucopyranoside was not detected at the commencement of the incubation period indicating that methanol triggered the de novo synthesis of this methyl-glucoside (MeG). Results are the average of three measurements (expressed as μmol/g cell wet weight) and bars represent sd.
