Endomyces magnusii mitochondria were shown to be incapable of active Mg2+ transport at 0.1--16 mM concentrations. As was found using the inhibition analysis, when magnesium ions are added to the mitochondria once the phosphorylation cycle is over, the respiration is stimulated because adenylate kinase and H+-ATPase (Mg2+-dependent enzymes) are activated.
