P.512 4th paragraph: "The enzyme NADH dehydrogenase (ndh) transfers hydrogen from NADH to quinone. Both energy-linked and unlinked activities have been observed (primary source). Use of the non-energy linked activity results in a P/O ratio of 0.667 as compared to a P/O ratio of 1.33 for energy linked dehydrogenase, assuming an ATPase stoichiometry of 3H+/ATP. Figure 4(a) depicts the maximal biomass yield with either of the NADH dehydrogenases. The use of the non-energy linked NADH dehydrogenase, i.e. reducing the P/O ratio by 50%, results in a significant drop in the biomass yield, to 0.519g DW/g glucose, a drop of 11.7%." |
