Abstract

H(+)-ATPase is considered essential for growth of Lactococcus lactis. However, media containing hemin restored the aerobic growth of an H(+)-ATPase-negative mutant, suggesting that hemin complements proton extrusion. We show that inverted membrane vesicles prepared from hemin-grown L. lactis cells are capable of coupling NADH oxidation to proton translocation.
