LOCALIZATION OF THE SUCCINIC DEHYDROGENASE SYSTEM IN ESCHERICHIA COLI USING COMBINED TECHNIQUES OF CYTOCHEMISTRY AND ELECTRON MICROSCOPY

A W SEDAR et al. J Cell Biol. 1965 Feb.

Abstract

The activity of the succinic dehydrogenase system was studied in Escherichia coli utilizing combined techniques of cytochemistry and electron microscopy. Organisms were incubated in a medium containing tetranitro-blue tetrazolium (TNBT) which served as an electron acceptor. Enzymatic activity, as evidenced by the deposition of aggregates of TNBT-formazan, was found associated with the site of the plasma membrane of the bacterium.
