(3fl-5-dimethylbenzoxazol-2-yl)methine p-toluene sulphonate), which is present in the optical brightener Uvitex AN (Ciba-Geigy Ltd) [2], inhibited the aerobic respiration of Puracoccus denitrificuns. Using inverted membrane vesicles of P. denitrijkans [ 11, this inhibition was shown to occur in the NADH dehydrogenase (EC 1.66.99.3) region of the respiratory chain because, although respiration through segments II and III of the respiratory chain was unaffected by
