Aerobic growth of Escherichia coli with an oxidizable substrate as carbon source in the presence of low concentrations of KCN leads to the synthesis and integration into the membrane of menaquinone and cytochromes b558, a1 and d in addition to the redox carriers normally present under aerobic growth conditions, namely ubiquinone and cytochromes b562, b556 and o. The results are discussed with reference to other phenotypic and genotypic modifications to the electron-transport chains of E. coli.
在低浓度氰化钾存在的情况下，以可氧化底物作为碳源，大肠杆菌进行有氧生长，除了在有氧生长条件下正常存在的氧化还原载体，即泛醌和细胞色素b562、b556和o之外，还会导致甲萘醌以及细胞色素b558、a1和d的合成并整合到细胞膜中。结合大肠杆菌电子传递链的其他表型和基因型修饰对结果进行了讨论。
