LOCALIZATION OF SUCCINOXIDASE IN BACILLUS MEGATERIUM KM

Abstract

In the cells of Bacillus megaterium KM, succinoxidase, p-phenylenediamine (PPDA) oxidase and oxidative activities on the several members of the tricarboxylic acid cycle are localized to the ghosts.
The similarity of the active particles derived from either intact cells or ghosts was confirmed on succinoxidase and PPDA oxidase.
Relationship between the ghosts and the active particles was discussed.
