The kinetics of phosphate uptake by exponentially growing Neurospora crassa were studied to determine the nature of the differences in uptake activity associated with growth at different external phosphate concentrations. Conidia, grown in liquid medium containing either 10 mM or 50 micronM phosphate, were harvested, and their phosphate uptake ability was measured. Initial experiments, where uptake was examined over a narrow concentration range near that of the growth medium, indicated the presence of a low-affintiy (high Km) system in germlings from 50 micronM phosphate. Uptake by each system was energy dependent and sensitive to inhibitors of membrane function. No efflux of phosphate or phosphorus-containing compounds could be detected. When examined over a wide concentration range, uptake was consistent with the simultaneous operation of low- and high-affinity systems in both types of germlings. The Vmax estimates for the two systems were higher in germlings from 50 micronM phosphate than for the corresponding systems in germlings from 10 mM phosphate. The Km of the high-affinity system was the same in both types of germlings, whereas the Km of the low-affinity system in germlings from 10 mM phosphate was about three three times that of the system in germlings from 50 micronM phosphate.
