Carbon monoxide-driven electron transport in Clostridium thermoautotrophicum membranes.

Abstract

Membrane vesicles of Clostridium thermoautotrophicum prepared by osmotic lysis after lysozyme treatment contained carbon monoxide dehydrogenase and methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase with specific activities three- to fourfold higher than the specific activity of the cytoplasm. The membrane-associated carbon monoxide dehydrogenase mediated the reduction with CO or the oxidation with CO2 of b-type cytochromes and other electron carriers in the membrane.
