Abstract
Summary
In the presence of sodium acetate as substrate the S:M ratio of PAH declines rapidly with time. With no added substrate and with sodium lactate or sodium pyruvate as added substrate this decline in the S:M ratio is much less, or even absent. It is shown that the increase in pH occurring in phosphate buffer is the cause of the decline of the S:M ratio.
