Oxygen metabolism (respiration) ofStreptococcus mutansGS‐5 involving NADH oxidases, mainly of the H2O‐producing type, was found to be acid sensitive, as was NADH oxidase activity of cell extracts. Respiration of intact cells in acidified media was also highly sensitive to fluoride, with a 50% inhibitory concentration of about 0.02 mM at pH 4. In contrast, NADH oxidases in cell extracts were fluoride insensitive. Fluoride inhibition of respiration of intact cells was related to weak‐acid effects leading to enhanced proton permeability of cells, cytoplasmic acidification and resultant acid inhibition of NADH oxidases and glycolysis. Organic weak acids, such as indomethacin and benzoate, were also effective inhibitors. H2O2production by intact cells ofStreptococcus sanguisNCTC 10904, a peroxide producer, was similarly inhibited by fluoride or organic weak acids in acidified media. Thus, weak acids act as respiratory inhibitors for oral streptococci indirectly by acidifying the cytoplasm rather than acting as direct inhibitors of NADH oxidases.
