S organism, an anaerobic gram-negative rod, which is one of two bacterial species isolated from the culture known as "Methanobacillus omelianskii," ferments ethanol to acetate and H(2). The present study shows that extracts of this organism contain ferredoxin and produce acetate from acetaldehyde via aldehyde: ferredoxin oxidoreductase activity. Electrons generated in the reaction are given off as H(2) by a previously demonstrated ferredoxin-linked hydrogenase system. Extracts were shown to contain good phosphotransacetylase and acetokinase activities, but no mechanism of adenosine triphosphate generation during acetaldehyde conversion to acetate could be detected. No evidence could be obtained for coenzyme A (CoASH) or phosphate requirement or for formation of acetyl CoA or acetyl phosphate.
S菌是一种厌氧革兰氏阴性杆菌,是从名为“奥氏甲烷杆菌”的培养物中分离出的两种细菌之一,它可将乙醇发酵为乙酸盐和H₂。本研究表明,该菌的提取物含有铁氧化还原蛋白,并通过醛:铁氧化还原蛋白氧化还原酶活性从乙醛生成乙酸盐。反应中产生的电子通过先前证明的与铁氧化还原蛋白相关的氢化酶系统以H₂的形式释放。提取物显示具有良好的磷酸转乙酰酶和乙酰激酶活性,但在乙醛转化为乙酸盐的过程中未检测到三磷酸腺苷生成机制。未获得关于辅酶A(CoASH)或磷酸盐需求或乙酰辅酶A或乙酰磷酸盐形成的证据。
