Abstract excerpt
A mutant devoid of cytochrome c-554 (CT0075) in Chlorobium tepidum (syn. Chlorobaculum tepidum) exhibited a decreased growth rate but normal growth yield when compared to the wild type. From quantitative determinations of sulfur compounds in media, the mutant was found to oxidize thiosulfate more slowly than the wild type but completely to sulfate as the wild type. This indicates that cytochrome c-554 would...
