Carbon monoxide-dependent growth of Rhodospirillum rubrum.
Under dark, anaerobic conditions in the presence of sufficient nickel, Rhodospirillum rubrum grows with a doubling time of under 5 h by coupling the oxidation of CO to the reduction of H+ to H2. CO-dependent growth of R. rubrum UR294, bearing a kanamycin resistance cassette in cooC, depends on a medium nickel level ninefold higher than that required for optimal growth of coo+ strains.
متن کاملCarbon monoxide dehydrogenase from Rhodospirillum rubrum.
The carbon monoxide dehydrogenase from the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum was purified over 600-fold by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, heat treatment, hydroxylapatite chromatography, and preparative scale gel electrophoresis. In vitro, this enzyme catalyzed a two-electron oxidation of CO to form CO2 as the product. The reaction was dependent on the addition of an electron accept...
متن کاملLife on carbon monoxide: X-ray structure of Rhodospirillum rubrum Ni-Fe-S carbon monoxide dehydrogenase.
A crystal structure of the anaerobic Ni-Fe-S carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) from Rhodospirillum rubrum has been determined to 2.8-A resolution. The CODH family, for which the R. rubrum enzyme is the prototype, catalyzes the biological oxidation of CO at an unusual Ni-Fe-S cluster called the C-cluster. The Ni-Fe-S C-cluster contains a mononuclear site and a four-metal cubane. Surprisingly,...
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 کاملDevelopment and growth of photosynthetic membranes of Rhodospirillum rubrum.
In cell-free extracts from low-aeration suspensions of Rhodospirillum rubrum strain G-9, bacteriochlorophyll a was distributed in two bands after rate-zone sedimentation in sucrose density gradients. From the physicochemical properties of these fractions, it was concluded that the upper band consisted of small membrane fragments, whereas the major band was composed of fragmented vesicular intra...
