The use of microbial membranes to achieve anaerobiosis.
Critical reviews in biotechnology - 1 Jan 1990
Adler H I
Abstract excerpt
The cytoplasmic membranes of many aerobic and facultative bacteria contain enzymes that catalyze the reduction of dissolved oxygen to water. Preparations of small particles derived from such membranes can be filter sterilized without loss of the oxygen-reducing enzymes. These particle preparation...
