Abstract excerpt
Tellurite and selenate reductase activities were identified in extracts of Escherichia coli. These activities were detected on non-denaturing polyacrylamide gels using an in situ methyl viologen activity-staining technique. The activity bands produced from membrane-protein extracts had the same RF values as those of nitrate reductases (NRs) A and Z. Tellurite and selenate reductase activities were absent from...
