Abstract: | Ginzburg, M. and Richman, L. 1985. Permeability of whole Dunaliellacells to glucose.J. exp. Bot. 36: 19591968.Whenglucose was dissolved in medium in which Dunaliella cells weresuspended, the amount recovered from pellets of centrifugedcells was greater than that expected if the glucose had beenrestricted to intercellular space, as measured with Blue Dextran.Glucose is not metabolized by whole Dunaliella cells. The glucoseadditional to that in the intercellular space must be eitheradsorbed in the coating outside the cells or must penetratethe cell through the cell membrane. Grounds are given for suggestingthat the latter hypothesis is correct and that the glucose comesto equilibrium with a space within the cell (the glucosespace)equivalent to 2040% of the cellwater. It is suggestedthat most of the cell Na+ is restricted to the glucose-space. Key words: Dunaliella, glucose, permeability |
