“…ESR Measurements. ESR spectra of intact S. aureus cells were measured, but we were unable to detect the presence of paramagnetic ions, probably due to binding of the ions to negatively charged ligands (Imedidze et al, 1978). An examination of a cell extract in 6% perchloric acid did reveal a sextet pattern characteristic of free Mn(II) hexaquo ions with g = 2.0090 and a peak to peak distance of 95 G. When the pH of the extract solution was raised with concentrated NaOH, the ESR signal was markedly reduced and barely detectable above pH 6.0.…”

“…The presence of Mn(II) ions is very likely the source of line broadening and shifts observed in the 31P and 13C NMR spectra of energydepleted and glycolyzing cells. More importantly, the narrowing line width and upfield shift of the intracellular orthophosphate and lactate resonances whenever the cells are oxygenated suggest that manganese may be involved in oxygen metabolism, either directly or indirectly via changes induced in the intracellular pH (Imedidze et al, 1978; Archibald & Fridovich, 1981a,b). Further studies on the effects of manganese in a variety of microorganisms are currently under way in our laboratory.…”

“…3 and 6 show that some Ca2+ can be removed by chelators without any effect on the NADH oxidation. Since the outer membrane is permeable to all molecules employed in the present study (Pfaff et al, 1968) and since the mitochondrial inner membrane is not thought to be permeable to EDTA or EGTA (Imedidze et al, 1978;Reed & Bygrave, 1974;Wehrle et al, 1976), addition of chelators in the presence of 9-aminoacridine will yield information on the two surfaces of the outer membrane as well as on the outer surface of the inner membrane, where the NADH dehydrogenase appears to be located (Palmer & Passam, 1971). It is very likely that a portion of the bivalent cations that can be seen by the 9-aminoacridine technique (Figs.…”

“…An underlying assumption was that the permeability of the SMP was similar to that of the intact mitochondria, i.e. that neither EGTA (Reed and Bygrave 1974, Wehrle et al 1976, Imedidze et al 1978 nor NADH (von Jagow and Kiingenberg 1970) entered vesicles of either polarity. It is, of course, possible that the SMP -resealed inner membrane vesiclesare more 'leaky' after the sonication treatment.…”
