Respiration-driven proton translocation was studied with the oxidant pulse method for cells of denitrifying P. denitrificans oxidizing H2 during reduction of O2, NO3-, NO2- or N2O. A simplified scheme of anaerobic electron transport and associated proton translocations shown that is consistent with the measured .vector.H+/oxidant ratios. The kinetics and energetics of NO3- uptake in whole cells of P. denitrificans were studied. H2 consumption or N2O production was measured after addition to NO3- to a cell suspension, which indirectly gave information about uptake (and reduction) of NO3-. A lag phase in H2 consumption or N2O production appeared whenever the membrane potential was dissipated by addition of thiocyanate, carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone or triphenylmethylphosphonium bromide. These lag phases were not observed when NO2- was present at the moment of introduction of NO3-. On the basis of these findings it is concluded that there are 2 uptake systems for NO3-. One system is dependent on the protonmotive force and is probably used for initiation of NO3- uptake. The other is an NO3-/NO2- antiport and its function is to take over NO3- uptake from the first system.
