Localization of periplasmic redox proteins of Alcaligenes faecalis by a modified general method for fractionating gram-negative bacteria

J Bacteriol. 1999 Oct;181(20):6540-2. doi: 10.1128/JB.181.20.6540-6542.1999.

Abstract

A lysozyme-osmotic shock method is described for fractionation of Alcaligenes faecalis which uses glucose to adjust osmotic strength and multiple osmotic shocks. During phenylethylamine-dependent growth, aromatic amine dehydrogenase, azurin, and a single cytochrome c were localized in the periplasm. Their induction patterns are different from those for the related quinoprotein methylamine dehydrogenase and its associated redox proteins.
