Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 13P
If algae are exposed to 14C02 for a brief period while illuminated, the labeled carbon is initially found almost entirely in the carboxyl group of 3- phosphoglycerate. However, if illumination is continued after the label pulse, other carbon atoms become labeled. Explain.

It ´s certain that using both would enhance available xylose concentration, but i want to evaluate EH by itself, and i still can't find if it is just added as powder to the media. Would it dissolve? do i have to add some kind of buffer to the media?.arrow_forward
