Abstract: | A cell-free preparation of hydrogenase was obtained from acetone-driedcells of Anabaena cylindrica. This preparation was capable ofcatalyzing the reduction of various redox dyes by molecularhydrogen and evolution of hydrogen from reduced methyl viologen.PMS, methylene blue, DPIP and toluidine blue were effective,in this order, as hydrogen acceptors. Ferricyanide, p-quinone,phenosafranine and neutral red were not reduced by the presentpreparation. PPNR obtained from this alga was effective on neitherreduction of NAD and NADP by hydrogen nor stimulation of hydrogenuptake with methylene blue and PMS. Coupled with hydrogenasereaction, there occurred reduction of nitrate to ammonia whenmethylene blue was added to the reaction mixture. 1Present address: Department of Zoology, University of Texas,Austin, Texas, U.S.A. |
