Adenosyl-methionine incorporation into the methoxylated carotenoids in chromatophores of Rhodospirillum rubrum.
Hy(roxvlation, desaturation ancl ndethylation reactions are required for the conversion of lycopene to spirilloxanthin in the purple photosyntlietic bacteria. These reactions have been established by A) the identification and proof of structure of the individual carotenoids (2, 10, 12); B) analysis of changes in the individual carotenoi(Is (luring synthesis of spirilloxanthin in resting cells (...
متن کاملAlternative pathways of spirilloxanthin biosynthesis in Rhodospirillum rubrum.
Detailed studies of the properties of carotenoids isolated from diphenylamine-inhibited cultures of Rhodospirillum rubrum have revealed a number of novel structures that indicate new features of carotenoid biosynthesis in the photosynthetic bacteria. Both neurosporene and 7,8,11,12-tetrahydrolycopene undergo hydration, methylation and dehydrogenation to yield spheroidene and 11',12'-dihydrosphe...
متن کاملPhotosynthesis in Rhodospirillum rubrum
Ribulose 1,5-diphosphate carboxylase has been isolated from autotrophically cultured Rhoclospirillum rubrum. The molecular weight is 120,000. The K, for ribulose 1,5diphosphate is 83 mM, and for CO2 is 59 mM. The enzyme is inhibited by three important metabolites: citrate, an intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle; inorganic phosphate; and 3-phosphoglyceric acid, the product of the reacti...

متن کاملThe Structure of Rhodospirillum rubrum
Cells from serial cultures of R. rubrum, grown anaerobically in the light, were harvested at intervals from (1/2) to 15 days and sectioned for electron microscopy by conventional methods. Cells of this species possess a multilayered outer envelope, and the external cell surface is differentiated into ridges extending parallel or obliquely to the long axis of the cell. Cells from very young cult...
