  1. The table shows dopamine-mediated bacterial uptake assays of 55Fe from 55Fe-labelled transferrin in the presence of concentrations of chlorpromazine inhibitory to dopamine-mediated growth induction, and were performed as described in the legend to Table 5. The values shown represent the means of bacterial 55Fe incorporation from triplicate 1 ml uptake assays; standard deviations are shown in brackets. There were no significant differences in viable counts between control and test cultures.
