Abstract

Silver ions inhibited the oxidation of glucose, glycerol, fumarate, succinate, D- and L-lactate, and endogenous substrates by intact cell suspensions of Escherichia coli. Silver ions reacted with the respiratory chain at two levels. The site most sensitive to inhibition was located between the b-cytochromes and cytochrome a2. The second level of inhibition was in the NADH and succinate dehydrogenase regions of the respiratory chain, and was situated on the substrate side of the flavin components.
