Abstract
A study was made of the rapid oxidation kinetics of the cytochromes of Escherichia coli. The b-type cytochromes were kinetically heterogeneous, with one species (presumably cytochrome o) oxidized so rapidly that it could fully support observed oxidation rates. Cytochrome d but not cytochrome a1 was also kinetically competent to support respiration. However, in cells grown anaerobically in the presence of NO3-, cytochrome d exhibited slow oxidation kinetics and a red-shift in its reduced-minus-oxidized difference spectrum.Entities:
