aerobic and anaerobic bacterial respiration monitored by electrodes.	a technique is described by which both oxygen and nitrate (or nitrate or chlorate) levels were continuously monitored during bacterial respiration. paracoccus (micrococcus) denitrificans and escherichia coli oxidizing succinate rapidly ceased to reduce nitrate when oxygen was available, and equally rapidly commenced nitrate reduction when all the oxygen had been consumed. by contrast, membrane vesicles isolated from p. denitrificans reduced oxygen and nitrate simultaneously. the respiratory nitr ...	1977	319200
substrate binding site for nitrate reductase of escherichia coli is on the inner aspect of the membrane.	escherichia coli grown anaerobically on nitrate exhibited the same transport barrier to reduction of chlorate, relative to nitrate, as that exhibited by paracoccus denitrificans. this establishes that the nitrate binding site of nitrate reductase (ec 1.7.99.4) in e. coli must also lie on the cell side of the nitrate transporter which is associated with the plasma membrane. because nitrate reductase is membrane bound, the nitrate binding site is thus located on the inner aspect of the membrane. n ...	1979	374343

metabolic regulation of pyruvate kinase isolated from autotrophically and heterotrophically grown paracoccus denitrificans.	pyruvate kinase (atp: pyruvate phosphotransferase (ec 2.7.1.40) was partially purified from both autotrophically and heterotrophically grown paracoccus denitrificans. the organism grown under heterotrophic conditions contains four times more pyruvate kinase than under autotrophic conditions. the enzyme isolated from both sources exhibited sigmoidal kinetics for both phosphoenolpyruvate (pep) and adp. the apparent km for adp and pep in the "autotrophic" enzyme were 0.63 mm adp and 0.25 mm pep. th ...	1977	931510

the reversibility of active sulphate transport in membrane vesicles of paracoccus denitrificans.	an uncoupler-sensitive active transport of sulphate into membrane vesicles prepared from the plasma membrane of paracoccus denitrificans (previously micrococcus denitrificans) can be driven by respiration or by a trans-membrane ph gradient (alkaline inside) generated by the addition either of kcl ( in the presence of nigericin) or of nh4cl. valinomycin does not substitute for nigericin. respiration-driven transport is observed in right-side-out vesicles but not in inside-out vesicles, whereas tr ...	1975	1212205
the autotrophic growth of micrococcus denitrificans on methanol.	ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase is present at a high specific activity in extracts of methanol-grown microccus denitrificans. enzymic and physiological evidence indicates that, during growth on methanol, the ribulose bisphosphate cycle is the route of carbon assimilation.	1975	1212208

comparison of dentrification by paracoccus denitrificans, pseudomonas stutzeri and pseudomonas aeruginosa.	the course of denitrification of nitrate, nitrite and both compounds together by static cultures of paracoccus denitrificans, pseudomonas stutzeri and pseudomonas aeruginosa was studied. these strains represent three different types of denitrification: 1. reduction of nitrate to gaseous nitrogen without accumulation of nitrite (p. denitrificans); 2. partial accumulation of nitrite in growing cultures during reduction of nitrate to gaseous nitrogen (p. aeruginosa) and 3. two-phase denitrification ...	1992	1284849
reduction of cua induces a conformational change in cytochrome c oxidase from paracoccus denitrificans.	cytochrome c oxidase (cytochrome aa3) from paracoccus denitrificans contains a tightly bound manganese(ii) ion, which responds to reduction of the enzyme by a change in its epr signal (seelig et al. (1981) biochim. biophys. acta 636, 162-167). in this paper, the nature of this phenomenon is studied and the bound manganese is used as a reporter group to monitor a redox-linked conformational change in the protein. a reductive titration of the cyanide-inhibited enzyme shows that the change in the m ...	1992	1310624
cloning, sequencing and deletion from the chromosome of the gene encoding subunit i of the aa3-type cytochrome c oxidase of rhodobacter sphaeroides.	the ctad gene encoding subunit i of the aa3-type cytochrome c oxidase from rhodobacter sphaeroides has been cloned. the gene encodes a polypeptide of 565 residues which is highly homologous to the sequences of subunit i from other prokaryotic and eukaryotic sources, e.g. 51% identity with that from bovine, and 75% identity with that from paracoccus denitrificans. the ctad gene was deleted from the chromosome of r. sphaeroides, resulting in a strain that spectroscopically lacks cytochrome a. this ...	1992	1313140
oxidation of methylamine by a paracoccus denitrificans mutant impaired in the synthesis of the bc1 complex and the aa3-type oxidase. evidence for the existence of an alternative cytochrome c oxidase in this bacterium.	a paracoccus denitrificans fbcc-ctadii double mutant strain impaired in the synthesis of both the bc1 complex and the aa3-type oxidase has been constructed. this mutant strain, which is still able to grow on methylamine as sole carbon and energy source, exhibits unimpaired oxygen consumption with succinate, methylamine and endogenous substrates as electron donors. from kinetic studies of the oxidation and reduction rates of cytochromes c, it can be concluded that p. denitrificans contains a seco ...	1992	1321057

oscillations of nitric oxide concentration in the perturbed denitrification pathway of paracoccus denitrificans.	the metabolism of nitric oxide in paracoccus denitrificans has been studied using a clark-type electrode. the uncoupler carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone (cccp) and the sh reagent n-ethylmaleimide, both of which released nitric oxide from cells respiring nitrite, were found to be efficient inhibitors of nitric oxide reductase activity. control experiments with another uncoupler, pentachlorophenol, showed that the inhibitory effect of cccp was not the result of a decrease in membrane poten ...	1992	1325776
