Certain inhibitors have been found to affect the low frequency spectral component of the electrical noise power spectrum in Chara corallina. Application of the ATPase inhibitor N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide removed the low frequency spectral component, strengthening the case that the component is produced by active proton pumping. Cytocholasin B, which inhibits cyclosis in internodes of C. corallina, removed the low frequency spectral component in a time-dependent fashion which was correlated with the cessation of streaming. The protonophore carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone did not produce consistent effects on the low frequency spectral component in these cells.
