Abstract excerpt
After a general review of the proposed mechanisms and physiological roles of the alternative respiratory pathways found in various organisms, the studies are focussed on the amylolytic yeast Schwaniomyces castellii. In addition to the cytochrome chain, the wild type presents two alternative pathways insensitive to antimycin A. One is salicylhydroxamic acid (SHAM)-sensitive and azide-insensitive; the other is...
