The oxidation of dihydroorotate under anaerobic conditions was examined using various mutant strains of E. coli K-12. This oxidation in cells grown anaerobically in a glucose minimal medium is linked via menaquinone to the fumarate reductase enzyme coded for by the frd gene and is independent of the cytochromes. The same dihydroorotate dehydrogenase protein functions in the anaerobic and aerobic oxidation of dihydroorotate. Ferricyanide can act as an artificial electron acceptor for dihydroorotate dehydrogenase and the dihydroorotate-menaquinone-ferricyanide reductase activity can be solubilized by 2 M guanidine.cntdot.HCl with little loss of activity.
