Lactobacillus brevis ATCC 14869 exhibited a carbon catabolite de-repressed (CCR) phenotype which has ability to consume fermentable sugar simultaneously with glucose. To evaluate this unusual phenotype under harsh conditions during fermentation, the effect of lactic acid and hydrogen ion concentrations on L. brevis ATCC 14869 were examined. Kinetic equations describing the relationship between ...

The resistance of HCl solution without supporting electrolyte at a microelectrode was evaluated by the ac impedance technique of which the dc-potential was in the diffusion-controlled domain for the reduction of the hydrogen ion. The hydrogen ion is reduced to hydrogen gas. The Cl takes the same concentration profile as the hydrogen ion in order to keep electric neutrality. Then, no ion is pres...

The concentrations of malate, calcium ions, hydrogen ions, and chloride ions were measured in secretions coliected hetween June 1991 and May 1992 from the secretor\ trichomes of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.|. The average maiate cisncentration was 114 mM and \ aried from 2 to 2K7 mM. the average chloride ion concentration «as 177 mM and varied trom 68 to 355 mM, and the average calcium ion conce...
