a

Experiments were performed with 0.1 M sodium phosphate (pH 7.0 at 25°C) containing 430 μM NADH. Standard errors are given in parentheses. ht-REDs were paired with the α subunit of the ISP. The data sets used to calculate the parameters for different substrates contain 80 to 110 points. BADO displayed no detectable activity in the presence of either 4-methylbenzoate, 2-chlorobenzoate, or 4-chlorobenzoate.

b

Values were based on O2 consumption to be consistent with the other values in the table. Values calculated based on benzoate consumption were at least one order of magnitude lower.

c

Values published in reference 20.
