Abstract
Energy production in Gl. liquefaciens was studied by measuring oxidative phosphorylation in cell-free extracts and molar growth yield in growing cultures.
P/O ratios were found very low and ranged from 0.09 for DPNH to 0.40 for glucose 6-phosphate, that is about 5% of the efficiency in animal mitochondria.
The low P/O ratios
