The Terminal Oxidase Cytochrome bd Promotes Sulfide-resistant Bacterial Respiration and Growth

Hydrogen sulfide (H(2)S) impairs mitochondrial respiration by potently inhibiting the heme-copper cytochrome c oxidase. Since many prokaryotes, including Escherichia (E.) coli, generate H(2)S and encounter high H(2)S levels particularly in the human gut, herein we tested whether bacteria can sustain...
