Two Gram-reaction-negative, rod-shaped, motile bacteria, designated strains U82 and U95(T), were isolated from the marine alga Ulva australis collected at Sharks Point, Clovelly, a rocky intertidal zone near Sydney, Australia. Both strains were oxidase- and catalase-positive, formed brown- to black-pigmented

It is reported that the reduction of ubiquinone incorporated into supported lipid bilayers and into immobilized liposome layers on gold electrodes is kinetically and thermodynamically enhanced by the presence of acetylcholine and tetrabutylammonium (TBA(+)) in solution. The reduction peak and
