Abstract
Membrane vesicles containing internal alcohol dehydrogenase and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) were prepared from Escherichia coli ML308-225. Upon the addition of ethanol, these vesicles respired and transported several amino acids. Transport rates driven by internally generated reduced NAD (NADH) were about 60 to 80% of that stimulated by d-lactate. This transport was inhibited by cyanide and anaerobiosis. Ferricyanide, a nonpermeable electron acceptor, inhibited transport stimulated by external NADH, but not that stimulated by internally generated NADH.
