Fig. 1. Effect of bafilomycin A1 exposure on acidification current.
Separate experiments are shown in A and B. In both experiments, turtle
bladders were mounted in Ussing chambers as described in Materials and methods
and exposed to 0.2 mmol l-1 ouabain in the serosal solution (arrow)
to eliminate sodium transport. When the short circuit current (acidification
current) subsequently reached a new steady state, the bladder was exposed to
either 5 nmol l-1 bafilomycin A1 in the serosal bathing
solution (A) or to a graded sequence of bafilomycin A1
concentrations in the mucosal solution (B; final concentrations are shown in
nmol l-1). Baf, bafilomycin A1. Short circuit current
shown is in µA (per area of chamber, 1.43 cm2). The unlabeled
number in the lower right of each panel is an index number identifying the
experiment.
