title: Characterization of three soluble c-type cytochromes isolated from soybean root nodule bacteroids of Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain CC705.
abstract: Three soluble, low molecular mass cytochromes c (Mr 8000-15,000) were isolated and purified from soybean root nodule bacteroids of Bradyrhizobium japonicum strain CC705. On the basis of their alpha: absorbance peaks in the reduced forms, they were named cytochromes c550, c552 and c555. Cytochrome c552 reacted very fast, c555 very slowly and c550 not at all with carbon monoxide. The complete amino acid sequence (73 residues) of cytochrome c552 was established which identifies it as a monoheme, class I cytochrome c with some remote similarity to the cytochrome c6 family.
