Abstract

Strains of three anaerobic rumen bacteria, and were able to use extracellular H to reduce fumarate to succinate. Each bacterium possessed membrane-bound hydrogenase and fumarate reductase activity. Membrane-bound cytochrome was reducible by H and oxidizable by fumarate in each bacterium. The apparent values for hydrogen of the hydrogenases were 4.5 10 , 1.4 10 and 4.4 10 for and respectively. The apparent values for fumarate of the fumarate reductases were approximately 1.0 10 for each bacterium.
