| Abstract: | The active species of  CO2 , i.e. CO2 or HCO3-, formed in the CO dehydrogenase reaction was determined using the pure enzyme from the carboxydotrophic bacterium Pseudomonas carboxydovorans. Employing an assay system similar to that used to test for carbonic anhydrase, data were obtained which are quite compatible with those expected if CO2 is the first species formed. In addition, carbonic anhydrase activity was not detected in P. carboxydovorans. |
