In Staphylococcus aureus Newman under aerobic cultivation, ndhC inactivation slightly reduced growth rate and yield and increased lactate dehydrogenase-1, resembling Warburg metabolism.
- Why it matters: Staphylococcus aureus must balance fermentation and respiration across oxygen conditions, and NADH dehydrogenases help route electrons to menaquinone.
- What they did: The study used NADH dehydrogenase mutants (ΔndhC, ΔndhF, and ΔndhFΔndhC) to test how NdhC and NdhF affect growth, physiology, and tricarboxylic acid cycle activity during aerobic growth.
- The result: NdhC effects included decreased TCA activity and lactate dehydrogenase-1 accumulation, while NdhF was mainly produced post-exponential and its inactivation produced mostly moderate effects, linking both enzymes to oxygen-responsive regulation.
