Alkaline Band Formation in Chara corallina: Due to OH− Efflux or H+ Influx?
AUTOR(ES)
Lucas, William J.
RESUMO
The nature of the transport system responsible for the establishment of alkaline bands on cells of Chara corallina was investigated. The transport process was found to be insensitive to external pH, provided the value was above a certain threshold. At this threshold (pH 5.1 to 4.8) the transport process was inactivated. Transport function could be recovered by raising the pH value of the external solution. The fastest rate of recovery was always obtained in the presence of exogenous HCO3−.
