Summary

The antibiotic cycloheximide (10 μg/ml) inhibits the light-induced transients of membrane potential of green cells inOenothera-leaves, while photosynthesis (measured by O2-evolution,14CO2-fixation and light-induced pH-changes in the external medium) and respiration remain unaffected under the same conditions.

Zusammenfassung

Unter dem Einfluss von Cycloheximid (10 μg/ml) werden die lichtausgelösten Membranpotentialschwankungen in grünen Mesophyllzellen vonOenothera unterdrückt, während unter den gleichen Bedingungen nach einer Stunde Vorbehandlung mit Cycloheximid Reaktionen der Photosynthese und der Atmung (gemessen als O2-Entwicklung,14CO2-Fixierung, lichtinduzierte pH-Änderungen im Aussenmedium und als respiratorische O2-Aufnahme) nicht beeinträchtigt werden.
