Uptake kinetics of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate by Delftia acidovorans MC1 and derivative strains: complex characteristics in response to pH and growth substrate.

Abstract excerpt

The present investigation showed that active processes were involved in the uptake of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D) by Delftia acidovorans MC1. With 2,4-D-grown cells, uptake at pH 6.8 was highly affine and showed a complex pattern-forming intermediary plateau at 20-100 microM 2,4-D. The kinetics became increasingly sigmoidal with raising of the pH to 7.5 and 8.5, and complexity disappeared. The apparent...
