Abstract
We have demonstrated the use of bacterial chromatophores for the continuous photosynthetic regeneration of ATP from ADP in an ultrafiltration reactor. Biphasic kinetics of the degradation of chromatophore activity are described. Using chromatophores in combination with the enzyme adenylate kinase, we have also demonstrated continuous regeneration of ATP from AMP.

## Abstract A possible use of phosphorylating mitochondrial electron transport particles (ETPH) has been investigated for ATP regeneration. The oxidative phosphorylation of ETPH was considerably inhibited by the hydrolytic activity of ATPase and adenylate kinase. The hydrolytic activity of ATPase a
