Abstract The prevalence of cyanide-resistant respiration among yeasts and bacteria and its relation to oversynthesis of metabolites was studied. It was shown that cyanide-resistant respiration was characteristic of most microorganisms under study. In reference to yeasts this ability was observed in those with aerobic type of metabolism. The cyanide resistant respiration appeared during retardation or complete cessation of microbial growth provided there was no oversynthesis of metabolites. If the retardation or cessation of growth was accompanied by the induction of the oversynthesis of metabolites it led to inhibition of the development of the cyanide-resistant respiration. We came to the conclusion that there are competitive relations between the oversynthesis of metabolites and cyanide-resistant respiration exactly as they are between the two processes directed to the release of excessive energy.
