title: Periplasmic electron carriers and photo-induced electron transfer in the photosynthetic bacterium Ectothiorhodospira sp.
abstract: A detailed analysis of the periplasmic electron carriers of the photosynthetic bacterium Ectothiorhodospira sp. has been performed. Two low mid-point redox potential electron carriers, cytochrome c' and cytochrome c, are detected. A high potential iron-sulfur protein is the only high mid-point redox potential electron transfer component present in the periplasm. Analysis of light-induced absorption changes shows that this high potential iron-sulfur protein acts in vivo as efficient electron donor to the photo-oxidized high potential heme of the Ectothiorhodospira sp. reaction center.
