title: The Effect of High Concentrations of Glucose and Fructose on the Respiration Rate of Isolated Rhizobium leguminosarum Bacteroids.
abstract: The effect of high concentrations of glucose and fructose on the respiration rate of Rhizobium leguminosarum bacteroids isolated from nodules of Pisum sativum was investigated. High concentrations of glucose and fructose stimulated the respiration rate of the bacteroids. Fructose stimulated the respiration rate to a higher extent than glucose. Malate in a concentration of 1 mM increased the respiration rate of bacteroids to a high level. With bacteroids suspended in a medium with a high concentration of fructose the increase of the respiration rate after addition of malate was only small.
