| role of ubiquinone-10 in electron transport system of chromatophores from rhodospirillum rubrum. | the role of ubiquinone-10 in the activities for the reduction of free cytochrome c2 and bound cytochrome cc' by succinate was studied with chromatophores from a blue-green mutant (g-9) of rhodospirillum rubrum. 1. by a single extraction with isooctane, approximately 90% of ubiquinone-10 was easily removed from the chromatophores. in the extracted chromatophores, the activity for succinate-cytochrome c2 reduction decreased to 5-10% of the original activity. this depressed activity was mostly rest ... | 1975 | 172493 |
| characterization of two soluble ferredoxins as distinct from bound iron-sulfur proteins in the photosynthetic bacterium rhodospirillum rubrum. | in an earlier investigation (shanmugam, k. t., buchanan, b. b., and arnon, d. i. (1972) biochim. biophys. acta 256, 477-486) the extraction of ferredoxin from rhodospirillum rubrum cells with the aid of a detergent (triton x-100) and acetone revealed the existence of two types of ferredoxin (i and ii) and led to the conclusion that both are membrane-bound. in the present investigation, ferredoxin and acid-labile sulfur analyses of photosynthetic membranes (chromatophores) and soluble protein ext ... | 1975 | 172494 |

| interaction of a coupling factor from rhodospirillum rubrum with coupling factor deficient chromatophores. | a coupling factor necessary for the photophosphorylation and mg2+-atpase activities in rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores has been separated from these particles. although the redox potential of coupling factor deficient chromatophores is slightly more oxidized than of the control, the addition of the coupling factor for reconstitution does not alter the redox potential. phenazine methosulfate cannot restore or significantly enhance the photophosphorylation activities of uncoupled or reconstit ... | 1975 | 125569 |
| immunological and fluorescence studies with the coupling factor atpase from rhodospirillum rubrum. | 1. purification of the coupling factor atpase from rhodospirillum rubrum has been achieved by a combination of a previously described procedure with chromatography on deae-sephadex a50. 2. identification of the coupling factor atpase during purification, and estimation of the relative amount of the enzyme in each fraction was greatly simplified by utilization of its unusual fluorescence. 3. preparations of r. rubrum coupling factor atpase injected into rabbits yielded antisera which were suitabl ... | 1975 | 126080 |

| postillumination adenosine triphosphate synthesis in rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores. i. conditions for maximal yields. | the very low level of postillumination atp synthesis in chromatophores was markedly stimulated when permeant anions (thiocyanate or perchlorate) or permeant cations (potassium in the presence of valinomycin) were added to the light stage. although these compounds stimulated also light-induced proton uptake in chromatophores the ph dependence of both photoreactions was different. proton uptake peaked at ph 6.5 while the amount of postillumination atp was maximal when the light stage was carried o ... | 1975 | 237896 |
| the reaction of rhodospirillum rubrum cytochrome c2 with iron hexacyanides. | the reaction of rhodospirillum rubrum cytochrome c2 with the nonphysiological reactants, ferrocyanide and ferricyanide has been investigated as a function of ionic strength, temperature and ph, using both stopped-flow and temperature-jump kinetic methods. the results are consistent with a complex reaction mechanism involving the formation of two intermediate complexes. the site of electron transfer appears to be at the front of the cytochrome c2 molecule near the hem e crevice with interacton of ... | 1975 | 238661 |
| [role of ferredoxin in the metabolism of hydrogen by rhodospirillum rubrum]. | ferredoxin was purified after isolation from the cells of rhodospirillum rubrum grown under photoheterotrophic conditions; a385/a280 in the absorption spectrum was not less than 0.53; the molecular weight was ca. 7700; e0' (ph 7.0)--430 mv. ferredoxin was easily reduced in the presence of dithionite and provided a high rate of nadp reduction by pea chloroplasts. the extracts of r. rubrum containing ferredoxin or the extracts, to which it was added, reduced nad in the presence of hydrogen and evo ... | 1975 | 241001 |

| carotenoid triplet states in reaction centers from rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides and rhodospirillum rubrum. | purified photochemical reaction centers from three strains of rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides and two of rhodospirillium rubrum were reduced with na2s2o4 so as to block their photochemical electron transfer reactions. they then were excited with flashes lasting 5-30 ns. in all cases, absorbance measurements showed that the flash caused the immediate formation of a transient state (pf) which had been detected previously in reaction centers from rps. sphaeroides strain r26. previous work has shown th ... | 1975 | 811259 |
| regulation of nitrogenase synthesis in intact cells of rhodospirillum rubrum: inactivation of nitrogen fixation by ammonia, l-glutamine and l-asparagine. | the synthesis of nitrogenase by intact cells of rhodospirillum rubrum was repressed in n-free media supplemented with l-glutamine or l-asparagine, but was unaffected by the presence of l-glutamate, l-aspartate or l-histidine. specific activities attained by cultures in supplemented media maintained under ar-co2 were 2 to 3 times higher than those in n-free medium under n2-co2. a loss in total activity occurred both in cultures growing with n2 after maximum activity had been reached, and in cultu ... | 1975 | 811763 |
| ultrastructural deformation studies on biological membranes. | the ultrastructural deformation technique has been used to study various membranes, including several claimed to show subunit structure. with localized deformation fibers ca. 100-300 a in diameter and up to 4,000 a long were found extending across the cracks parallel to the draw direction in all membranes. lipid extraction and proteolytic enzyme (papain) treatment of membranes has shown that the fibers are protein in nature. deformation of membranes while still wet showed no significant change i ... | 1975 | 813066 |
| possible role of firmly bound atp in the energy transduction of photosynthetic membranes. | chromatophores of rhodospirillum rubrum and spinach chloroplasts contain firmly bound atp that is rapidly labeled along with adp in the presence of 32pi and endogenous nucleotides. the labeling is not entirely dependent on light. in chloroplasts three types of bound atp can be defined methodologically by their extraction properties: buffer-soluble; acid-soluble; and sds-soluble or firmly bound atp. extensive washing of the chloroplasts does reduce buffer-soluble but not acid-soluble and firmly b ... | 1975 | 813067 |
| characterization of two cell-envelope fractions from chemotrophically grown rhodospirillum rubrum. | two cell-envelope fractions were isolated from chemotrophically grown cells of rhodospirillum rubrum. on the basis of electron-microscopic investigations, chemical analysis, distribution of components involved in respiration, and poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis, the heavy fraction (rho20 = 1.246 g per cm3) was identified as cell-wall, and the light fraction (rho = 1.145 g per cm3) as cyto-plasmic-membrane fragments. electron micrographs showed cell-wall fragments as open structures while cyt ... | 1975 | 813575 |

| new experimental approach to the estimation of rate of electron transfer from the primary to secondary acceptors in the photosynthetic electron transport chain of purple bacteria. | a method for calculating the rate constant (ka1a2) for the oxidation of the primary electron acceptor (a1) by the secondary one (a2) in the photosynthetic electron transport chain of purple bacteria is proposed. the method is based on the analysis of the dark recovery kinetics of reaction centre bacteriochlorophyll (p) following its oxidation by a short single laser pulse at a high oxidation-reduction potential of the medium. it is shown that in ectothiorhodospira shaposhnikovii there is little ... | 1976 | 816385 |
| properties of ribonucleic acids from photosynthetic and heterotrophic rhodospirillum rubrum. | rifampicin causes an initial rapid breakdown of about 30% of the pulse-labeled rna in both photosynthetic and heterotrophic rhodospirillum rubrum. an additional degradation of rna has been observed in the heterotrophic, but not in the photosynthetic cells at a later stage of rifampicin treatment. this secondary rna degradation is probably caused by breakdown of ribosomal rna, especially of the 23s species, as shown by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analyses. no qualitative difference between ... | 1976 | 816437 |

| motility in normal and filamentous forms of rhodospirillum rubrum. | by suitable choice of medium, rhodospirillum rubrum has been grown both in normal (length 2 mum) and filamentous (length up to 60 mum) forms. both forms were highly motile, and negatively-stained preparations showed bipolar flagellated cells, with an average of seven flagella at each pole. motion consisted of a series of runs and tumbles, the ditribution of run time-lengths being poissonian. both forms tumbled in response to dark shock and showed negative chemotaxis to oxygen. the observation th ... | 1976 | 819618 |
| phototactic response of aerobically cultivated rhodospirillum rubrum. | motile cells of aerobically cultivated rhodospirillum rubrum, containing no detectable bacteriochlorophyll, assembled at a spot of strong light projected through a dark-field condenser. far-red light was not effective, indicating that bacteriochlorophyll and thus photosynthetic metabolism was not responsible for the phenomenon. bacteria moving towards the centre of the light spot changed direction less frequently than those moving towards the margin. they also responded to temporal changes in th ... | 1976 | 819621 |
| measurement of transmembrane potentials in rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores with an oxacarbocyanine dye. | the fluorescent dye 3,3-dipentyloxacarbocyanine (occ) can be used as a fluorescence probe to measure transmembrane potentials across rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophore membranes. a reversible fluorescence increase is observed in the light which is sensitive to inhibitors, permeable ions and uncouplers. partial interchangeability between the electrical potential and the proton concentration gradient has been demonstrated by measurement of the fluorescence increase with occ and the fluorescence q ... | 1976 | 820380 |

| a possible physiological function of the oxygen-photoreducing system of rhodospirillum rubrum. | anaerobic suspensions of rhodospirillum rubrum cells which had been grown in the dark under low oxygen tension showed only a small increase of their atp content when illuminated for 30 s. the same suspensions failed to start immediate growth in the light. both high light-induced atp levels and immediate phototrophic growth were elicited by small amounts of oxygen which were insufficient by themselves to raise the atp levels or to support growth in the dark. the oxygen requirement for growth disa ... | 1976 | 822793 |
| photodichroic studies of the photoreaction center from rhodospirillum rubrum. i. attribution of p870 to two non parallel dipoles. | a randomly oriented sample of photoreaction center prepared from rhodospirillum rubrum was excited at 77 degrees k by an actinic linearly polarized light of 870 nm. under such conditions, only those chromophores with components of their absorption dipoles oriented parallel to the polarization of the actinic light are bleached. the change in absorbance at 900 nm of this photoselected sample was observed while varying the angle of polarization of a weak measuring light. the polarization of the abs ... | 1976 | 822873 |
| photosynthetic regeneration of atp using bacterial chromatophores. | we have demonstrated the use of bacterial chromatophores for the continuous photosynthetic regeneration of atp from adp in an ultrafiltration reactor. biphasic kinetics of the degradation of chromatophore activity are described. using chromatophores in combination with the enzyme adenylate kinase, we have also demonstrated continuous regeneration of atp from amp. | 1976 | 822897 |
| preparation and properties of bacterial chromatophores entrapped in polyacrylamide. | the immobilization of rhodospirillum rubrum chromatophores was successfully performed by entrapping them in polyacrylamide. their photophosphorylating activity was about 40% of native chromatophores. the temperature and ph optima for immobilized chromatophores were similar to the native photosynthetic apparatus and kinetic parameters showed that the rate of photophosphorylation in polyacrylamide particles was diffusion controlled. light penetration of the gel particles was not a limiting paramet ... | 1976 | 822898 |

| triplet states of bacteriochlorophyll and carotenoids in chromatophores of photosynthetic bacteria. | chromatophores from photosynthetic bacteria were excited with flashes lasting approx. 15 ns. transient optical absorbance changes not associated with the photochemical electron-transfer reactions were interpreted as reflecting the conversion of bacteriochlorophyll or carotenoids into triplet states. triplet states of various carotenoids were detected in five strains of bacteria; triplet states of bacteriochlorophyll, in two strains that lack carotenoids. triplet states of antenna pigments could ... | 1976 | 823977 |
| functional and structural differences between photosynthetic and heterotrophic rhodospirillum rubrum ribosomes and s-100 fractions. | cell-free, protein-synthesizing activity has been tested by using various combinations of the s-100 and ribosome fractions prepared from photosynthetic and heterotrophic rhodospirillum rubrum. the photosynthetic ribosomes are highly active when combined with either the photosynthetic or the heterotrophic s-100 fractions, whereas the heterotrophic ribosomes are active only when combined with the photosynthetic s-100 fraction. addition of a photosynthetic pigment-containing fraction to the homolog ... | 1976 | 824038 |
| activating factor for the iron protein of nitrogenase from rhodospirillum rubrum. | as isolated from rhodospirillum rubrum, the iron protein of nitrogenase has little or no activity. it can be activated by incubating it with a trypsin-sensitive, oxygen-labile component (activating factor) plus adenosine triphosphate and a divalent metal ion. after activation, the iron protein retains its nitrogenase activity when the activating factor is removed. | 1976 | 824729 |
