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.
对大肠杆菌细胞色素的快速氧化动力学进行了研究。b型细胞色素在动力学上具有异质性,其中一种(可能是细胞色素o)氧化速度极快,以至于它能够完全支持观察到的氧化速率。细胞色素d而非细胞色素a1在动力学上也能够支持呼吸作用。然而,在存在NO3-的情况下厌氧生长的细胞中,细胞色素d表现出缓慢的氧化动力学,并且其还原态减去氧化态差光谱发生红移。
