Microsomal membranes from potato tubers were treated with a phospholipase C extracted from Bacillus cereus. A positive correlation could be observed between the hydrolysis of membranous phospholipids and the decrease of the NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity. Addition of total lipid or phospholipid micelles to phospholipase C-treated microsomes partially restored the NADH-cytochrome c reductase activity, thus proving the lipid-dependence of this enzyme.
