Electron transport system of an aerobic carbon monoxide-oxidizing bacterium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experiments with crude extracts of Pseudomonas carboxydohydrogena revealed that a quinone is necessary for CO oxidation, and that cytochromes of the a, b, and c types and functional terminal oxidase(s) are found in cells grown on CO as the sole source of carbon and energy. CO dehydrogenase delivers electrons to the electron transport system at the level of quinone, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate) is not involved in CO oxidation.

Terminal electron transport in Treponema pallidum.
Reduced-minus-oxidized difference spectra of sonically treated virulent Treponema pallidum disclosed cytochromes of the b anc c types as well as large amounts of flavoprotein. Difference spectra of the carbon monoxide-binding pigment identified cytochrome o as the terminal oxidase. Physiological reduction of the cytochromes indicated that the cytochrome system was functional and established the...
متن کاملIsolation of a cytochrome-deficient mutant strain of Sporomusa sphaeroides not capable of oxidizing methyl groups.
The homoacetogenic anaerobic bacterium Sporomusa sphaeroides was mutagenized with UV light. Taking advantage of the ampicillin enrichment technique and a newly developed test for the detection of heme in bacterial colonies, the cytochrome-deficient mutant strain S. sphaeroides BK824 was isolated. In contrast to the wild type, this mutant strain failed to grow on betaine, betaine plus methanol, ...
متن کاملGenome sequence of the chemolithoautotrophic nitrite-oxidizing bacterium Nitrobacter winogradskyi Nb-255.
The alphaproteobacterium Nitrobacter winogradskyi (ATCC 25391) is a gram-negative facultative chemolithoautotroph capable of extracting energy from the oxidation of nitrite to nitrate. Sequencing and analysis of its genome revealed a single circular chromosome of 3,402,093 bp encoding 3,143 predicted proteins. There were extensive similarities to genes in two alphaproteobacteria, Bradyrhizobium...
