Oxygen uptake and reduction of C2H2 by bacteroids was found to be inhibited by low concentrations of cyanide and azide. However, oxygen uptake was not completely suppressed even by 10(-3) M KCN. Cyanide-resistant respiration was not inhibited by salicyl-hydroxamic acid, and seemed to be accomplished at the account of autoxidable flavo-proteins. A small light-reversible inhibition of respiration by carbon monoxide was found only in the bacteroids with a high rate of nitrogen fixation. Rotenone, antimycin A, and tenoyltrifluoroacetone inhibited oxygen uptake and methylene reduction. Nitrogen fixation, but not respiration, was inhibited by 2,4-dinitrophenol. An electron-transport chain coupled with phosphorylation is supposed to be built into the membranes of the bacteroids. The activity of peroxidase and cytochrome peroxidase was demonstrated in the bacteroids.

D010101 Oxygen Consumption The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body. (Stedman, 25th ed, p346) Consumption, Oxygen,Consumptions, Oxygen,Oxygen Consumptions
D010544 Peroxidases Ovoperoxidase
D002248 Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide (CO). A poisonous colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. It combines with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, which has no oxygen carrying capacity. The resultant oxygen deprivation causes headache, dizziness, decreased pulse and respiratory rates, unconsciousness, and death. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) Monoxide, Carbon
D003486 Cyanides Inorganic salts of HYDROGEN CYANIDE containing the -CN radical. The concept also includes isocyanides. It is distinguished from NITRILES, which denotes organic compounds containing the -CN radical. Cyanide,Isocyanide,Isocyanides
D003576 Electron Transport Complex IV A multisubunit enzyme complex containing CYTOCHROME A GROUP; CYTOCHROME A3; two copper atoms; and 13 different protein subunits. It is the terminal oxidase complex of the RESPIRATORY CHAIN and collects electrons that are transferred from the reduced CYTOCHROME C GROUP and donates them to molecular OXYGEN, which is then reduced to water. The redox reaction is simultaneously coupled to the transport of PROTONS across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
