Abstract excerpt
Terminal oxidases provide the final step in aerobic respiration by reducing oxygen. The mycobacteria possess two terminal oxidases: a cytochrome c aa3 type and a quinol bd type. We previously isolated a bd-type oxidase knockout mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis that allowed for functional analysis of the aa3 type without the contribution of bd-type activity. Growth of M. smegmatis LR222 and JAM1 (LR222bd::kan)...
