Rapid characterization of Mycobacterium fortuitum-chelonei complex by restriction fragment length polymorphism of ribosomal RNA genes.

abstract：:Stability of the membrane-bound and purified H+-translocating NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase, Complex I, was studied. The loss of the enzyme activity is strongly increased by alkaline pH and dilution of the sample. Complex I inactivation is prevented specifically by a low concentration of Ca2+ and/or an intracellular ...
