Oxyleghemoglobin-mediated Hydrogen Oxidation by Rhizobium japonicum USDA 122 DES Bacteroids

Abstract: Oxyleghemoglobin was used to supply low concentrations of 02 to H2-oxidizing bacteroids from Rhizobium japoncum USDA 122 DES. The H2 oxidation system of these bacteroids was capable of effectively utilizing 02 at the low concentrations of 02 expected to be found in soybean nodules.Apparent Km values of approximately 10 nanomolar 02 have been calculated for the oxyhydrogen reaction. These values include the Km values for both H2 oxidation and endogenous substrate oxidation. Even in the presence of oxyleghemoglo… Show more

“…Our estimated Km for dissolved 02 of 0.5 ,uM was a little lower than that of 1 ,uM reported for R. japonicum bacteroids (14,17). The experimental difficulties in obtaining accurate estimates of H2 uptake at low H2 and 02 concentrations have been discussed (7,9,17). With more sensitive methods, apparent Km values for H2 of 0.05 ,uM (9) and for 02 of 10 nM (7) in R. japonicum bacteroids have been obtained.…”
