Carbon monoxide-driven electron transport in Clostridium thermoautotrophicum membranes

Journal Article · · J. Bacteriol.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5381241
Membrane vesicles of Clostridium thermoautotrophicum prepared by osmotic lysis after lysozyme treatment contained carbon monoxide dehydrogenase and methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase with specific activities three- to fourfold higher than the specific activity of the cytoplasm. The membrane-associated carbon monoxide dehydrogenase mediated the reduction with CO or the oxidation with CO/sub 2/ of b-type cytochromes and other carriers in the membrane.
