Summary

The mode of electron transport associated with the dehydrogenase enzymes located on the cytoplasmic membrane inGluconobacter oxydans (ATCC 9937) has been postulated. High turnover of dehydrogenases under oxygen enrichment conditions is explained on the basis of a simplistic electron transport chain comprising cytochrome c553 (MW 23000) as a subunit of dehydrogenase and a cytochrome b562. The electron transport chain under low dissolved oxygen tension (DOT) is shown to comprise a number of cytochrome c species with very low midpoint potential difference.
