FIG. 1.

DMSP and acrylate metabolism in cell suspensions of strain LFR cultured on either glucose (A) or acrylate (B). Substrates and products were measured in either the extracellular medium or gas phase following the addition of DMSP or acrylate (500 μM) to the cell suspension. The cells had an A₆₀₀ of ca. 0.5 and protein concentration of 0.12 mg · ml⁻¹. Symbols: ■, DMS production from added DMSP; ▴, extracellular acrylate resulting from DMSP cleavage; ●, uptake (or metabolism) of added acrylate.
