Type your answer here... Cytochrome C Oxidase deficiency is a very rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by deficiency of the enzyme cytochrome C oxidase (COX), or Complex IV, an essential enzyme that is active in the subcellular structures that help to regulate energy production (mitochondria).

An oxidase test relies on a reagent that will change colors when it is oxidized. The reagent used in the test only reacts to cytochrome c oxidase by acting in place of oxygen to receive electrons from the cytochrome.
yes, all aerobic cells are oxidase positive. The oxidase test is testing for the presence of cytochrome oxidase [by reducing it with an artificial substrate which turns purple when oxidised]. In aerobic cells cytochrome oxidase's normal role is in the electron transport chain, passing electrons from cytochrome c to oxygen. hence if the cell is aerobic then oxygen is terminal electron acceptor in the cells ETC and thus it will give a positive result in the oxidase test.
cytochrome oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of a reduces cytochrome by molecular oxygen, resulting in the formation of H2O or H2O2.

Cytochrome Oxidase are most likely to be found in mitochondria and important in cell respiration as an agent of electron transfer from certain cytochrome molecules to oxygen molecules
cytochrome oxidase enzyme system is knoched out in mitochondria.
It's advisable so that the oxidase test determines whether or not an organism has cytochrome oxidase in its electron transport chain.
