General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function when cystine is provided and sulfide levels rise, Escherichia coli becomes strictly dependent upon cytochrome bd oxidase for continued respiration. Low-micromolar levels of sulfide inhibit the proton-pumping cytochrome bo oxidase. In the absence of the back-up cytochrome bd oxidase, growth fails. Exogenous sulfide elicits the same effect Escherichia coli
