[The effect of respiratory toxins on the bacterial concentration of trivalent gold]. / Vpliv dikhal'nykh otrut na kontsentruvaniia bakteriiami trivalentnogo zolota.

ABSTRACT

It has been found that concentration of trivalent gold by Bacillus cereus V-4368 cells is sensitive to respiratory inhibitors such as rotenone and antimycin A. Inhibitory action of rotenone is neutralized by succinate, that of antimycin--by ATP. ATP influence disappears in presence of DCCD. It is supposed that Au(III) concentration is due to the ATPase action and the respiration systems supply this process with ATP.
