fbc operon, encoding the Rieske Fe-S protein cytochrome b, and cytochrome c1 apoproteins previously described from Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides, is from Rhodopseudomonas capsulata.
Detailed comparison of the 'Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides GA' strain used by Gabellini et al. (1985) with genuine R. sphaeroides and R. capsulata strains indicated that the previously reported fbc operon of R. sphaeroides (Gabellini and Sebald, 1986) encoding the structural genes for the Rieske Fe-S protein, cytochrome b and cytochrome c1 subunits of the ubiquinol:cytochrome c2 oxidoreductase, is not from R. sphaeroides, but is rather from a strain of R. capsulata. Consequently, the genuine bc1 genes from R. sphaeroides were cloned using corresponding R. capsulata genes as probes, and a partial nucleotide sequence for the Rieske Fe-S protein of R. sphaeroides was determined and compared with that of R. capsulata.
