Abstract
We have previously reported on the isolation of a mutant strain of Escherichia coli, RF-7, that has a dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD)-resistant, membrane-associated adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity (R. H. Fillingame, J. Bacteriol. 124:870--883, 1975). We report here that the DCCD resistance of the ATPase of this mutant varies significantly, depending upon the carbon source used for growth. When strain RF-7 was grown aerobically on either glycerol or glucose or anaerobically on glucose rather than on a combination of succinate, acetate, and malate, ATPase activity was more sensitive to inhibition by DCCD because the carbodiimide-reactive proteolipid reacted more readily with DCCD.
