In several strains of the photosynthetic bacterium Rubrivivax gelatinosus, the synthesis of a high midpoint potential cytochrome is enhanced 4-6-fold in dark aerobically grown cells compared with anaerobic photosynthetic growth. This observation explains the conflicting reports in the literature concerning the cytochrome c content for this species. This cytochrome was isolated and characterized in detail from Rubrivivax gelatinosus strain IL144. The redox midpoint potential of this cytochrome is +300 mV at pH 7. Its molecular mass, 9470 kDa, and its amino acid sequence, deduced from gene sequencing, support its placement in the cytochrome c8 family. The ratio of this cytochrome to reaction center lies between 0.8 and 1 for cells of Rvi. gelatinosus grown under dark aerobic conditions. Analysis of light-induced absorption changes shows that this high-potential cytochrome c8 can act in vivo as efficient electron donor to the photooxidized high-potential heme of the Rvi. gelatinosus reaction center.

D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.
