Influence of sodium concentration on changes of membrane capacitance associated with the electrogenic ion transport by the Na,K-ATPase

Electrogenic ion transport by the Na,K-ATPase was investigated in a model system of protein-containing membrane fragments adsorbed to a lipid bilayer. Transient Na+ currents were induced by photorelease of ATP from inactive caged ATP. This process was accompanied by a capacitance change of the membrane system. Two methods were applied to measure capacitances in the frequency range 1 to 6000 Hz. It was, however, dependent on Na+ concentration and on the membrane potential which was generated by the charge transferred. Below 5 mM Na+ a negative capacitance change was detected which may be assigned to electrogenic Na+ binding to cytoplasmic sites. It could be shown that the results obtained by experiments with the presented alternating current method contain the information which is determined by current-relaxation experiments with cell membranes

Chornomors’k. bot. z., 13 (1): 72-86. doi:10.14255/2308-9628/17.131/6.На території національного природного парку «Деснянсько-Старогутський» (Сумська область, Середино-Будський район) відмічено 146 видів лишайників. Серед них Сalicium glaucellum, Chaenotheca laevigata, C. xyloxena, Lecanora compallens, Protoparmelia oleagina, Rinodina efflorescens, Xylographa vitiligo виявились новими для рівнинної частини України. Вперше для території парку було наведено 76 видів лишайників. На Старогутській ділянці виявлено 115 видів лишайників, тоді як на Придеснянській всього 80 видів. Найбільше видове різноманіття серед лишайників представлено епіфітами (126 видів). Мала кількість ключових індикаторів лісових біотопів свідчить про інтенсивне використання лісів ще до моменту створення парку. Лишайники Evernia mesomorpha та Punctelia jeckeri рекомендовані до занесення до Червоного списку Сумської області. Наведений анотований список лишайників. На территории Национального природного парка «Деснянско-Старогутский» (Сумская область, Середино-Будский район) отмечено 146 видов лишайников. Среди них Сalicium glaucellum, Chaenotheca laevigata, C. xyloxena, Lecanora compallens, Protoparmelia oleagina, Rinodina efflorescens, Xylographa vitiligo оказались новыми для равнинной части Украины. Впервые для территории парка приведено 76 видов лишайников. На Старогутском участке обнаружено 115 видов лишайников, тогда как на Придеснянском всего 80 видов. Наибольшее видовое разнообразие представлено эпифитами (126 видов). Малое количество лишайников ключевых лесных биотопов обнаруженных на территории свидетельствует про интенсивное использование лесов еще до момента создания парка. Лишайники Evernia mesomorpha и Punctelia jeckeri рекомендованы к занесению в Красный список Сумской области. Приведен аннотированный список лишайников. 146 species of the lichens on Desniansko-Starogutski National Nature Park (Sumy region, Seredyno-Budsky district) were given. Among them Сalicium glaucellum, Chaenotheca laevigata, C. xyloxena, Lecanora compallens, Protoparmelia oleagina, Rinodina efflorescens, Xylographa vitiligo are new species for plain part of Ukraine. 76 species are new for the national park. The Starogutska part of the park is represented by 115 species of the lichens in contrast of Desnjanska part has 80 species only. 126 species of the lichens were corticolous. Low number of the woodland key habitat-indicator lichens related with intensive forestry on this territory to the creation of the national park. Evernia mesomorpha and Punctelia jeckeri are recommended to the Red Data List of the Sumy region. The annotated list of the species is provided
