| Abstract: | A comparison of the distribution of CO oxidation activity between soluble and particulate protein fractions obtained after disruption of CO-grown Rhodopseudomonas gelatinosa 1 by French pressure cell breakage and osmotic lysis of spheroplasts suggested that, in situ, the enzyme complex was associated with the cell membrane. An improved, strictly anaerobic method is given for spectrophotometric measurement of CO oxidation activity based on the carbon monoxide:methyl viologen oxidoreductase reaction. |
