Kinetic parameters for PEPC from crude extracts in E. densa plants in the light and in the dark
| Growth Condition | Vmax | Km (PEP) | I50 (Malate) |

Vmax, Km for PEP, and I50 values for l-malate inhibition for PEPC from crude extracts of temperature-induced E. densa plants in the light or in dark were assayed. Values are means of three preparations with sd < 0.01 in all cases.
