Continuous monitoring, by mass spectrometry, of H2 production and recycling in Rhodopseudomonas capsulata

Abstract: Hydrogen evolution and consumption by cell and chromatophore suspensions of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas capsulata was measured with a sensitive and specific mass spectrometric technique which directly monitors dissolved gases. H2 production by nitrogenase was inhibited by acetylene and restored by carbon monoxide. An H2 evolution activity coupled with HD formation and D2 uptake (H-D exchange) was unaffected by C2H2 and CO. Cultures lacking nitrogenase activity also exhibited H-D exchange acti… Show more

“…The method used to determine the isotope-exchange reaction was described by Jouanneau et al (1980) and Vignais et al (1982), and has been used to study Desulfovibrio hydrogenases (Lespinat et al, 1986;Teixeira et al, 1987;Fauque et al, 1987). Based on the continuous recording of changes in concentration of gases D,, HD and H,, dissolved in the incubation medium, it is a specific and very sensitive technique for the measurement of isotope exchange within the first seconds after the mixing of the enzyme with D,-saturated medium (Fig.…”

“…The H-D exchange measured at 30°C was followed continuously in the aqueous phase by a mass-spectrometric method (Jouanneau et al, 1980). The reaction vessel, maintained under strict anaerobic conditions, was connected by a membrane inlet to the ion source of the mass spectrometer MM 8-80 (VG Instruments) equipped with a computer data-acquisition system.…”

“…The bottom of the vessel consisted of a stainless steel grid covered with a 12.5-pm-thick teflon membrane. For details of the construction, the reader is referred to the description by Jouanneau et al (1980). The vessel was filled with 7 ml anaerobic 120 mM potassium phosphate pH (pD) 6.7 containing 120 nmol CH-H,MPT' and was equilibrated with H,, HD, or D,.…”

“…Proton-deuterium exchange activity was measured in whole-cell suspensions from D. fructosovorans wild-type and mutant strains grown in 20 mM fructose/20 mM fumarate obtained as described previously [21] by a mass spectrometric method [23]. Fumarate, rather than sulfate, was used as an electron acceptor to prevent formation of sulfur precipitates.…”
