ABSTRACT MOST species of the Rhodospirillaceae1, the purple nonsulphur photosynthetic bacteria, produce large quantities of cytochrome _c_2 (ref. 2), a protein which is similar in sequence
to mitochondrial cytochrome _c_3. Many species also produce the high-spin haem protein cytochrome _c_′ (ref 2). Cytochromes _c_′ have been identified in _Rhodopseudomonas gelatinosa_ and in
_Rhodospirillum tenue_, but in these organisms the predominant low-spin cytochromes _c_ do not have properties similar to those found for cytochromes _c_2 (ref. 2). We have now determined
the amino acid sequences of the cytochromes _c_′ and of the predominant low-spin cytochromes _c_ from the two organisms (Fig. 1). Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a
