Plant Physiology 53:104-109 (1974) © 1974 American Society of Plant Biologists The Oxidation of Malate and Exogenous Reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide by Isolated Plant Mitochondria 1a Department of Botany, University of Adelaide, Adelaide, 5001, Australia
Exogenous NADH oxidation by cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L.) bud mitochondria was sensitive to antimycin A and gave ADP/O ratios of 1.4 to 1.9. In intact mitochondria, NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity was only slightly inhibited by antimycin A. The antimycin-insensitive activity was associated with the outer membrane. Malate oxidation was sensitive to both rotenone and antimycin A and gave ADP/O values of 2.4 to 2.9. However in the presence of added NAD+, malate oxidation displayed similar properties to exogenous NADH oxidation. In both the presence and absence of added NAD+, malate oxidation was dependent on inorganic phosphate and inhibited by 2-n-butyl malonate.
