Abstract
Molar growth yields were determined from chemostat cultures of Hydrogenomonas eutropha on succinate and on fumarate. The yields from culture on succinate were about 12 g higher than on fumarate. Assuming this difference to be equivalent to 1 molecule of adenosine triphosphate, it is concluded that the oxidation by oxygen of the Hydrogenomonas cytochrome b yields 1 molecule of adenosine triphosphate.
