Carbon oxysulfide (carbonyl sulfide, COS) is a close structural analog of CO(2). Although hydrolysis of COS (to CO(2) and H(2)S) does occur at alkaline pH (&gt;9), at pH 8.0 the rate of hydrolysis is slow enough to allow investigation of COS as a possible substrate and inhibitor of the active CO(2) transport system of Synechococcus UTEX 625. A light-dependent uptake of COS was observed that was inhibited by CO(2) and the ATPase inhibitor diethylstilbestrol. The COS taken up by the cells could not be recovered when the lights were turned off or when acid was added. It was concluded that most of the COS taken up was hydrolyzed by intracellular carbonic anhydrase. The production of H(2)S was observed and COS removal from the medium was inhibited by ethoxyzolamide. Bovine erythrocyte carbonic anhydrase catalysed the stoichiometric hydrolysis of COS to H(2)S. The active transport of CO(2) was inhibited by COS in an apparently competitive manner. When Na(+)-dependent HCO(3) (-) transport was allowed in the presence of COS, the extracellular [CO(2)] rose considerably above the equilibrium level. This CO(2) appearing in the medium was derived from the dehydration of transported HCO(3) (-) and was leaked from the cells. In the presence of COS the return to the cells of this leaked CO(2) was inhibited. These results showed that the Na(+)-dependent HCO(3) (-) transport was not inhibited by COS, whereas active CO(2) transport was inhibited. When COS was removed by gassing with N(2), a normal pattern of CO(2) uptake was observed. The silicone fluid centrifugation method showed that COS (100 micromolar) had little effect upon the initial rate of HCO(3) (-) transport or CO(2) fixation. The steady state rate of CO(2) fixation was, however, inhibited about 50% in the presence of COS. This inhibition can be at least partially explained by the significant leakage of CO(2) from the cells that occurred when CO(2) uptake was inhibited by COS. Neither CS(2) nor N(2)O acted like COS. It is concluded that COS is an effective and selective inhibitor of active CO(2) transport.
