| Abstract: | Summary Phosphate uptake inClaviceps sp. strain SD-58 was found to be linear for 20 min, proportional to cell density in mg/ml, energy dependent, and taking place against a concentration gradient with a Km value of 45.45×10–5 M. Osmotic shock treatment to the cell caused a reduction in phosphate uptake associated with the release of binding protein. Partial restoration of uptake was observed on incubation of osmotically shocked cells with shock fluid. The results are discussed with reference to the effect of phosphate on alkaloid synthesis inClaviceps sp. strain SD-58. |
