Question
Chapter 22.3, Problem 1MI
Summary Introduction
Certain micro-organism uses methane and C1 compounds as their carbon and energy source. The pathway for assimilation of C1 compounds differs between the organisms. For example, γ-proteobacterial methylotrophs use the ribulose monophosphate pathway whereas, α-proteobacteria uses serine pathway.

Why is an isotonic buffered extraction medium used to isolate the chloroplasts?
1.To gently lyse the chloroplasts, leaving the electron transport membranes intact, whilst allowing DCPIP access
2.To maintain a constant acidic pH and favourable hyper-osmotic conditions, to ensure that the chloroplasts remained intact and functional during extraction
3.To gently separate the chloroplasts from each other, leaving the electron transport membranes intact, whilst allowing DCPIP access
4.To maintain a constant physiological pH and favourable iso-osmotic conditions, to ensure that the chloroplasts remained intact and functional during extraction.
