Wolin, E. A. (University of Illinois, Urbana), R. S. Wolfe, and M. J. Wolin. Viologen dye inhibition of methane formation by Methanobacillus omelianskii. J. Bacteriol. 87:993-998. 1964.-Low concentrations of methyl or benzyl viologen inhibit the formation of CH(4) from ethanol and CO(2) by washed cells of Methanobacillus omelianskii. Hydrogen, which is normally formed from ethanol, accumulates in greater quantities when CH(4) formation is inhibited by viologens. The viologens do not stimulate H(2) formation from ethanol in the absence of CO(2). Inhibition of CH(4) formation by the viologens is not reversed by H(2). A variety of other dyes and possible electron acceptors were tested for inhibition, and none was inhibitory in the same low-concentration range at which the viologens were effective.
沃林,E. A.(伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳分校)、R. S. 沃尔夫和M. J. 沃林。紫精染料对奥氏甲烷杆菌甲烷生成的抑制作用。《细菌学杂志》87:993 - 998。1964年。——低浓度的甲基紫精或苄基紫精可抑制经洗涤的奥氏甲烷杆菌细胞利用乙醇和二氧化碳生成甲烷。在紫精抑制甲烷生成时,通常由乙醇生成的氢气会大量积累。在没有二氧化碳的情况下,紫精不会刺激乙醇生成氢气。紫精对甲烷生成的抑制作用不会被氢气逆转。还测试了多种其他染料和可能的电子受体的抑制作用,在紫精有效作用的相同低浓度范围内,没有一种具有抑制作用。
