The capacity of Streptomycetes to carry out cyanide‐resistant respiration was investigated. With the model strain, Streptomyces citreofluorescens , it was shown that deprivation of glucose followed by transition from exponential to stationary growth was coupled with declining sensitivity of cellular respiration to cyanide ions. Cyanide‐resistant oxidase is located within the cytoplasmic membrane. The occurrence of the cyanide‐resistant oxidase did not correspond to qualitative changes of cytochrome spectrum. Cytochrome d is involved neither in cyanide‐sensitive nor in cyanide‐resistant rspiratory chain.
