Respiration of NO resulted in transient proton translocation in anaerobically grown cells of four physiologically diverse denitrifiers. Paracoccus denitrificans, Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides subsp. denitrificans, "Achromobacter cycloclastes," and Rhizobium japonicum gave, respectively, H+/NO ratios of 3.65, 4.96, 1.94, and 1.12. Antimycin A completely inhibited NO-dependent proton translocation in P. denitrificans and severely restricted translocation in the R. sphaeroides strain. Proton uptake during NO respiration with antimycin A-inhibited cells supplied with an artificial electron source provided evidence for the periplasmic consumption of protons. Values obtained were consistent with the expected ratios of 0.5 mol of H+/mol of NO for reduction of NO to N2O and 1.0 mol of H+/mol of NO for reduction of NO to N2. These data are consistent with the presence of a unique NO reductase found only in anaerobically grown denitrifying cells.
在四种生理特性不同的反硝化细菌的厌氧生长细胞中,一氧化氮(NO)呼吸导致了瞬时质子转运。反硝化副球菌、脱氮红假单胞菌亚种、“环裂无色杆菌”和日本根瘤菌的H⁺/NO比率分别为3.65、4.96、1.94和1.12。抗霉素A完全抑制了反硝化副球菌中依赖NO的质子转运,并严重限制了球形红细菌菌株中的质子转运。在用抗霉素A处理的细胞中,当提供人工电子源时,NO呼吸过程中的质子摄取为周质质子消耗提供了证据。获得的值与将NO还原为N₂O时每摩尔NO消耗0.5摩尔H⁺以及将NO还原为N₂时每摩尔NO消耗1.0摩尔H⁺的预期比率一致。这些数据与仅在厌氧生长的反硝化细胞中发现的独特NO还原酶的存在相一致。
