Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the genes coding for the soluble and the membrane-bound hydrogenase of Alcaligenes eutrophus strain H16 significantly affected the expression of respiratory chain components. In lithoautotrophically grown wild type cells electron flow mainly proceeded via the cytochrome c oxidases. Mutants defective in the membrane-bound hydrogenase contained a 2- to 3-fold higher cytochrome a content than the wild...
