Energy homeostasis is a conserved process: Evidence from Paracoccus denitrificans' response to acute changes in energy demand.

Paracoccus denitrificans is a model organism for the study of oxidative phosphorylation. We demonstrate a very high respiratory capacity compared to mitochondria when normalizing to cytochrome aa3 content even in the absence of alternative terminal oxidases. To gain insight into conserved mechanisms...
