Abstract: | Electron transfer via the alternative pathway in cyanide-resistant mitochondria of the yeast Candida lipolytica is not coupled with ATP synthesis, generation of membrane potential or energy-dependent reverse electron transport in the main respiratory chain. We conclude that during transfer via the alternative pathway no accumulation of energy in the form of high-energy compounds or membrane potential occurs. |
