Abstract
The decrease with time in the optical density of suspensions of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was measured in sodium, potassium, and sodium-potassium phosphate buffers. Mercuric chloride after a short interval accelerates the decrease in sodium and sodium-potassium buffers but inhibits the decrease in potassium buffer. Mercaptoethylamine inhibits the decrease in sodium and to a greater extent in sodium-potassium buffers but has no effect in potassium buffer. It is active only in the oxidized form. Cysteine slightly accelerates the decrease in all three buffers and partially antagonizes the effect of mercaptoethylamine. It is active only in the reduced form. Mercaptoethylamine has no effect on the oxidation of succinate. Cysteine inhibits it. Mercaptoethylamine inhibits the induction of the enzyme for the oxidation of benzoate, and cysteine does this less effectively.
