Abstract excerpt
Respiration of Escherichia coli catalyzed either by cytochrome bo' or bd is sensitive to micromolar extracellular NO; extensive, transient inhibition of respiration increases as dissolved oxygen tension in the medium decreases. At low oxygen concentrations (25-33 microm), the duration of inhibition of respiration by 9 microm NO is increased by mutation of either oxidase. Respiration of an hmp mutant defective in...
