Spinach chloroplasts capable of high rates of CO2 fixation have been isolated in glycinebetaine as an alternative osmoticum to sorbitol and found to be very stable. Proline was a less satisfactory alternatine. The possible significance of the use of glycinebetaine is discussed as this solute may be the physiological cytoplasmic osmoticum in members of the Chenopodiaceae.
已从菠菜叶绿体中分离出甘氨酸甜菜碱作为替代山梨醇的高 CO2 固定率的渗透物,并发现其非常稳定。脯氨酸是一种不太理想的替代物。甘氨酸甜菜碱的使用可能具有重要意义,因为这种溶质可能是藜科植物细胞质的生理渗透物。
