Abstract excerpt
A spontaneous mutant of Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus resistant to the protonophorous uncoupler TCS was isolated. The mutant strain exhibited increased CH(4) formation and elevated level of ATPase activity under non-growing conditions. ATP synthesis driven by methanogenic electron transport as well as by potassium diffusion potential in the presence of either H(+) or Na(+) ions was markedly diminished in...
