The rate of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidation by membrane vesicles from Bacillus subtilis W23 increases three- to fourfold during logarithmic growth, reaching maximal levels in early stationary phase. Initial rates of L-proline, L-alanine, and L-glutamate transport energized by NADH closely parallel the increase in NADH oxidation. In vesicles prepared at different stages of growth, a constant number of NADH molecules varying from 150 to 260 have to be oxidized to transport one molecule of amino acid. Membrane vesicles from B. subtilis aroD (strain RB163), a mutant defective in menaquinone synthesis, do not transport amino acids in the presence of NADH. Ascorbate plus phenazine methosulfate, however, energizes amino acid transport equally well as in vesicles of B. subtilis W23. NADH oxidation and NADH-driven amino acid transport can be restored instantaneously by the addition of menadione (vitamin K3).
