Abstract
Samples of Klebsiella aerogenes harvested from a continous culture showed sustained oscillations in light absorption when allowed to respire in a non-growing state in a system open to oxygen. The amplitude of the oscillation was measured at different wavelengths. The resulting spectrum resembles the redox difference spectrum of flavin compounds. No oscillation in cytochromes or respiration rate was detected. At a wavelength where NADH is measured there was a very faint oscillation. For this reason and because the oscillation does not require a glycolytic substrate it seems that the mechanism of the oscillation is different from that of glycolytic oscillations observed in yeast.
