Yields of Hydrogenomonas eutropha from growth on succinate and fumarate

J Bacteriol. 1970 May;102(2):598-9. doi: 10.1128/jb.102.2.598-599.1970.

Abstract

Molar growth yields were determined from chemostat cultures of Hydrogenomonas eutropha on succinate and on fumarate. The yields from culture on succinate were about 12 g higher than on fumarate. Assuming this difference to be equivalent to 1 molecule of adenosine triphosphate, it is concluded that the oxidation by oxygen of the Hydrogenomonas cytochrome b yields 1 molecule of adenosine triphosphate.
