Use of tetrazolium salts for electron transport studies in meningopneumonitis. II. Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate system.
Allen, Emma G. (Downstate Medical School, State University of New York, Brooklyn). Use of tetrazolium salts for electron transport studies in meningopneumonitis. II. Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate system. J. Bacteriol. 92:1041-1046. 1966.-The conditions of electron transfer from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate in meningopneumonitis (MP) are described and compared with electron transfer from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide by this organism. The observations suggest that, in either system, there may be more than one pathway of electron flow, and that these pathways differ from those in normal membrane particulates. It was also found that after trypsin treatment, particulates from pools of normal allantoic fluids and membranes retain the normal characteristics, whereas those from pools of MP-infected fluids and membranes assume the characteristics of MP particles from fluids.
