The membrane-bound l-malate oxidoreductase of Azotobacter vinelandii strain O was found to be a flavoprotein-dependent enzyme associated with the electron transport system (R(3)) of this organism. The particulate R(3) fraction, which possessed the l-malate oxidoreductase, carried out the cyanide-sensitive oxidation of l-malate, d-lactate, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and nicotinami...
