Potassium Accumulation and Sodium Efflux by Porphyra perforata Tissues in Lithium and Magnesium Sea Water
Cells of Porphyra perforata, a red marine alga, accumulate K in the absence of concomitant Na or Li extrusion while immersed in Li- or Mg-sea waters lacking Na. This suggests that the coupling observed between K and Na transport is facultative. No evidence is obtained for net extrusion of Li. Na efflux, with the concentration gradient, is facilitated by K and is proportional to the cellular Na ...
متن کاملSodium Exclusion and Potassium Retention by the Red Marine Alga, Porphyra Perforata
Cells of the red marine alga, Porphyra perforata, accumulate potassium and exclude sodium, chloride, and calcium. Various metabolic inhibitors including dinitrophenol, anoxia, and p-chloromercuribenzoate partially abolish the cells' ability to retain potassium and exclude sodium. Iodoacetate induces potassium loss only in the dark; reduced sulfur compounds offer protection against the effects o...
متن کاملPotassium-dependent Sodium Extrusion by Cells of Porphyra Perforata, a Red Marine Alga
Potassium-free artificial sea water causes a loss of cell potassium and a gain of cell sodium in Porphyra perforata, which is not attributable to an inhibition of respiration. On adding KCl or RbCl to such low potassium, high sodium tissues, net accumulation of potassium or rubidium takes place, accompanied by net extrusion of sodium. Rates of potassium or rubidium accumulation and sodium extru...
متن کاملThe Sodium and Potassium Content of Sea Water
EVER since the investigations of Forchhammer in the middle of last century it has been known that the composition of sea water throughout the mass of the oceans is relatively constant, and that, whatever be the degree of concentration or dilution, the ratios between the concentrations of the principal components vary, if at all, between narrow limits. Modern workers have not only confirmed this...
متن کاملSodium, potassium and water metabolism in myxoedema.
In a combined radioactive isotope study, Nae, Ke, bromine space and total body water were measured in a group of fourteen hypothyroid subjects. These were compared with a 'control' group. Total body water and Nae were found to be increased in the hypothyroid subjects. In seven subjects, the measurements were repeated after treatment with thyroid hormone. Most of the subjects lost weight and sho...
