“D-Glucose and p-aminohippurate at high concentrations (greater than 10(-3) M) reduce taurine uptake, possibly by competing for sodium ions, although gramicidin added in the presence of D-glucose inhibits taurine uptake even further.”
“A similar shift in the pH optimum for glycolysis was observed for the 2 strains, and this was particularly pronounced for cells incubated with glucose in the presence of gramicidin to dissipate proton gradients.”
