    Notes: Abstract Entry of sodium ions into cells of Desulfovibrio vulgaris was studied. Translocation of Na+ was monitored by following the optical changes associated with shrinkage and swelling of the cells upon exposure to a hyperosmotic solution (200 mM) of sodium acetate or of sodium thiocyanate. By this technique the two solutes were found to equilibrate only after the addition of a protonophore such as carbonylcyanide m-chlorophenyl-hydrazone (CCCP). It was confirmed that acetate permeates electroneutrally as CH3COOH and thiocyanate electrogenically as SCN-. These findings suggest that Na+ is translocated by an electrogenic sodium ion/hydrogen ion antiport mechanism (H+/Na+〉1). Consistent with this interpretation is the observation that the addition of sodium acetate to a cell suspension resulted in the generation of a membrane potential (inside negative) and that of NaCl in an acidification of the external medium.

    Notes: Abstract Desulfovibrio vulgaris (Marburg) and Methanobrevibacter arboriphilus (AZ) are anaerobic sewage sludge bacteria which grow on H2 plus sulfate and H2 plus CO2 as sole energy sources, respectively. Their apparent Ks values for H2 were determined and found to be approximately 1 μM for the sulfate reducing bacterium and 6 μM for the methanogenic bacterium. In mixed cell suspensions of the two bacteria (adjusted to equal V max) the rate of H2 consumption by D. vulgaris was five times that of M. arboriphilus, when the hydrogen supply was rate limiting. The apparent inhibition of methanogenesis was of the same order as expected from the different Ks values for H2. Difference in substrate affinities can thus account for the inhibition of methanogenesis from H2 and CO2 in sulfate rich environments, where the H2 concentration is well below 5 μM.
