Fig. 9. (A) Estimated cytosolic osmolarity of P. multimicronucleatum as a
function of the adaptation osmolarity. Light, medium and dark gray lines
correspond to the cytosolic osmolarities for three different adaptation
osmolarity ranges, i.e. less than (in mosmol l-1) 75, from 75 to
160 and more than 160, respectively. (B) A profile of changes in both
adaptation osmolarity and osmolarity to which the adapted cells are subjected
for 16 experiments done in the present study. 16 arrows correspond to these 16
different experiments, respectively. Light gray arrows, medium gray arrows and
dark gray arrows correspond to the experiments with cells adapted to an
osmolarity in an osmolarity range of less than 75 mosmol l-1, those
with cells adapted to an osmolarity in an osmolarity range from 75 to 160 and
those with cells adapted to an osmolarity in an osmolarity range of more than
160 mosmol l-1, respectively. Estimated cytosolic osmolarity of
each cell is shown by a number under a line for the cytosolic osmolarity in A.
Leftward arrows with a red asterisk beside each arrow are the cases where RVD
takes place after cell's subjection to a decreased osmolarity. Rightward
arrows with a blue asterisk beside each arrowhead show the cases where RVI
takes place after cell's subjection to an increased osmolarity. Abscissa
(external osmolarity) corresponds to the adaptation osmolarity for A and to
both adaptation osmolarity and osmolarities to which the adapted cells are
subjected for B. See the first paragraph of the Discussion section for more
detail.
