The inducible Crassulacean acid metabolism plant, Mesembryanthemum crystallinum, accumulates malic acid, i.e. equivalent amounts of malate anions and protons in the mesophyll cells at night. Levels of malate and titratable
acidity
are low in the epidermal tissue and do not change significantly during the day/night cycle. This result is in contrast to a recent report (
Bloom
1979 Plant Physiol 64: 919-923) that the synthesis of malic acid during dark CO(2) fixation is associated with an equivalent exchange of inorganic cations from epidermal tissue with protons in the mesophyll cells.
