The properties of the membrane-bound reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidase of Acholeplasma laidlawii were compared with those of the corresponding cytoplasmic activity of Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri. The striking differences in pH optima, susceptibility to inhibitors and detergents, and heat inactivation between the NADH oxidase activity, with oxygen as an electron acceptor, and the NADH oxidoreductase activity, with dichlorophenol indophenol (DCPIP) as an alternate electron acceptor, support the presence of more than one catalytic protein in both the membrane-bound and soluble enzyme systems. The detection of more than one band positive for the NADH-nitroblue tetrazolium oxidoreductase reaction on electrophoresis of either the membranes of A. laidlawii or the cytoplasm of M mycoides subsp. capri also points in the same direction. The membrane-bound enzyme system differed, however, form the soluble one because it had a lower ratio of oxidase activity to oxidoreductase activity, and because it was less susceptible to heat inactivation and more readily incorporated incorporated into reaggregated membranes. In addition, the specific activity of the membrane-bound enzyme system increased as the culture aged, whereas that of the soluble system decreased as the culture aged. It is suggested that the different location in the cell could be responsible for some of the differences between the membrane-bound NADH oxidase activity of A. laidlawii and that found in the cytoplasm of M. mycoides subsp. capri.
