SUMMARY: The ATP pool, chosen as a suitable criterion of the cellular energetic state, has been measured in Zymomonas mobilis in different physiological conditions. ATP accumulates when growth is limited by pantothenic acid or blocked by chloramphenicol. A constitutive ATPase activity with a low affinity for ATP has been found which could be responsible for the dissipation of the excess energy produced in uncoupling conditions of growth.
