Methane oxidation by Nitrosomonas europaea.
Methane inhibited NH4+ utilization by Nitrosomonas europaea with a Ki of 2mM. O2 consumption was not inhibited. In the absence of NH4+, or with hydrazine as reductant, methane caused nearly a doubling in the rate of O2 uptake. The stimulation was abolished by allylthiourea, a sensitive inhibitor of the oxidation of NH4+. Analysis revealed that methanol was being formed in these experiments, wit...
متن کاملPhosphorylation by extracts of Nitrosomonas europaea.
Burge, W. D. (University of California, Berkeley), E. Malavolta, and C. C. Delwiche. Phosphorylation by extracts of Nitrosomonas europaea. J. Bacteriol. 85:106-110. 1963.-Cellfree preparations of Nitrosomonas europaea are capable of oxidizing hydroxylamine, but not ammonium ion, to nitrite. The quantity of nitrite formed by our preparations was, at most, equivalent to only 70% of the hydroxylam...
متن کاملEffect of chloride on oxidation of hydroxylamine by Nitrosomonas europaea cells.
The chemoautotrophic bacterium, Nitrosomonas europaea, derives its energy from the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite. Several investigators have noted that the ability to oxidize ammonia is entirely lost upon rupture of the Nitrosomonas cell, and that, although cell-free preparations retain a small fraction of the hydroxylamine-oxidizing activity, only 30 to 70% of the total hydroxylamine that is...
متن کاملCytochrome aa3 from Nitrosomonas europaea.
Cytochrome c oxidase has been purified from the ammonia oxidizing chemoautotroph Nitrosomonas europaea by ion-exchange chromatography in the presence of Triton X-100. The enzyme has absorption maxima at 420 and 592 nm in the resting state and at 444 and 598 nm in the dithionite-reduced form; optical extinction coefficient (598 nm minus 640 nm) = 21.9 cm-1 nM-1. The enzyme has approximately 11 n...
متن کاملOxidation of methyl fluoride and dimethyl ether by ammonia monooxygenase in Nitrosomonas europaea.
Methyl fluoride and dimethyl ether were previously identified as inhibitors of ammonia oxidation and N2O production in autotrophic nitrifying bacteria. We demonstrate that methyl fluoride and dimethyl ether are substrates for ammonia monooxygenase and are converted to formaldehyde and a mixture of methanol and formaldehyde, respectively.
