24. 2), the calculated isotopic abundances were based on the 3-Me carbon as reference carbon atom which, according to the biosynthesis of the quinone moiety, should not be labelled neither from C-1 nor C-6 of glucose. The values for isotopic abundances given for IPP in Fig. 3 are given as mean values for isoprenic units 1, 2, 3 and terminal.
