Abstract In photosynthesis of chloroplasts and bacterial chromatophores an induced artificial electron flow bypass may restore the inhibition of electron flow and of coupled ATP formation by two possible mechanisms. An artificial transmembrane electron flow bypass will lead to artificial energy conservation, when the redox reaction cycle of the added mediator across the membrane acts as proton pump. In an artificial internal electron flow bypass an inhibited native energy conservation may be reactivated; here an electron flow bypass induced by the mediator in the inside space restores the native proton translocation. The inhibition and the restoration of electron flow by antimycin, dibromothymoquinone and valinomycin is compared.

Measurements were made of the stoicheiometry of respiration-driven proton translocation coupled to the oxidation of NAD(P)-linked or flavin-linked substrates in intact cells of Escherichia coli. Observed stoicheiometries (→H+/O quotient; Mitchell, 1966) were approx. 4 with l-malate as substrate and approx. 2 for succinate, d-lactate and glycerol oxidation. It is concluded that the potential number of equivalent energy-conservation sites associated with the respiratory chain is 2 in aerobically grown cells of E. coli harvested during the exponential phase of growth.

The electric wires of cable bacteria possibly support a unique respiration mode with a few oxygen-reducing cells flaring off electrons, while oxidation of the electron donor and the associated energy conservation and growth is allocated to other cells not exposed to oxygen. Cable bacteria are centimeter-long, multicellular, filamentous Desulfobulbaceae that transport electrons across oxic-anoxic interfaces in aquatic sediments. From observed distortions of the oxic-anoxic interface, we derived oxygen consumption rates of individual cable bacteria and found biomass-specific rates of unheard magnitude in biology. Tightly controlled behavior, possibly involving intercellular electrical signaling, was found to generally keep <10% of individual filaments exposed to oxygen. The results strengthen the hypothesis that cable bacteria indeed have evolved an exceptional way to take the full energetic advantages of aerobic respiration and let >90% of the cells metabolize in the convenient absence of oxidative stress.

Measurements were made of the stoicheiometry of proton translocation coupled to respiration in mitochondria from Candida utilis where the number of functional energy-conservation sites between intramitochondrial NADH and oxygen was one in a mutant with a novel oxidase (Downie & Garland, 1972), two in sulphate-deficient cells (Haddock & Garland, 1971) or three in glycerol-limited cells (Light & Garland, 1971). The stoicheiometries of protons translocated per atom of oxygen utilized (i.e. →H+/2e− ratio; Mitchell, 1966) were close to 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 respectively. Thus by using the same substrate (intramitochondrial NADH) and oxygen throughout, the →H+/2e− ratio is shown to be 2.0 per energy-conservation site when the number of such sites is varied from one to three.
