Electron Transport in Halophilic Bacteria: Involvement of a Menaquinone in the Reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Oxidative Pathway

^a Departments of Biochemistry and Microbiology, University of Southern California School of Medicine, and the Los Angeles County-University of Southern California Medical Center, Los Angeles, California 90033

ABSTRACT

The reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidative pathway of a halophilic bacterium was found to contain a light-sensitive (360 nm) compound, menaquinone-8, which serves as a cofactor in the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide⁺-linked pathway.
