The c-type cytochromes of the gram-positive bacterium Bacillus licheniformis. 1987

K J Woolley

The release of soluble c-type cytochromes from cells of the gram-positive bacterium Bacillus licheniformis was effected by treatment with lysolytic buffer. After further purification three different c-type cytochromes designated c-551, c-552, and c-554 were isolated. Oxidized and reduced spectra, molecular weight, isoelectric point, and amino acid compositions are reported for each of these monoheme proteins.
