Abstract
The rates of the exchange reaction and of the reduction of various dyes and other acceptors were compared in a number of different microorganisms. While activation of hydrogen, as measured by the exchange reaction, appears to be relatively simple, utilization of the activated hydrogen for chemical reduction requires cofactors or additional enzyme systems.Keywords
