Abstract: | Three c-type cytochromes (c-551, c-553, c-555) have been isolated and characterized from a strain of the green photosynthetic bacterium Chlorobium thiosulfatophilum. These cytochromes are atypical when compared to horse heart cytochrome c in many properties, among them: oxidation-reduction potential at pH 7.0 (c-551, 135 mV; c-553, 98 mV; c-555, 145 mV), molecular weight (c-551, 45000–60000; c-553, 50000; c-555, 10000) and isolelectric point (c-551, 6.0; c-553, 6.7). No protoheme was detected in whole cells or cell-free extracts. |
