Isolation of a new pigment, desulforubidin, from Desulfovibrio desulfuricans (Norway strain) and its role in sulfite reduction.
A new pigment, desulforubidin, that has sulfite reducing activity, has been purified from extracts of the Norway strain of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans, which lacks desulfoviridin.
