An investigation was conducted to identify electron transport carriers that participated the oxidation of H2 in bacteroids of Rhizobium arachis .H2 -reduced mi-nus O2 -oxidized absorption difference spectra in bacteroids showed peaks at 424,500,520,550,560,585 and 595 nm,indicating the involvement of c-,b-,a and o-types of cytochromes,The absorption peaks at 520,550,560 nm were diminished a lot in the pres-ence of CN- This showed that some of c- and b-type cytochromes were CN- sensitive and therefore might play a role as terminal oxidases in H2 metabolism. H2 -uptake was in-hibited by antimycin A,HONO,CN- ,N3 - and DBMIB,not by rotenose,Our resultsindicate that ubiquinone and some types of cytochromes are involved in the oxyhydro-gen reaction which is a complex,branched transport system.
