Abstract excerpt
Gram-positive thermophilic Bacillus species contain cytochrome caa3-type cytochrome c oxidase as a terminal oxidase in the respiratory chain. To identify alternative oxidases, we isolated B. stearothermophilus mutants defective in the caa3-type oxidase activity. One mutant contained little cytochrome a and had low cytochrome c oxidase activity. However, growth and the respiratory activity of membranes in the...
