RESUMO
Antibodies were raised against the succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) present in the chromatophores of phototrophically grown Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides. Crossed immunoelectrophoresis experiments indicated that the SDH present in the cytoplasmic membranes of heterotrophically grown R. sphaeroides is probably the same enzyme observed in the chromatophores. The enzyme was extracted by Triton X-100 in a form which consisted of only two subunits (molecular weight, 68,000 and 30,000) and was not associated with a cytochrome b. The antibodies directed against SDH from R. sphaeroides showed no immunocross-reactivity with SDH from phylogenetically related bacterial species, including Rhodopseudomonas capsulata, Paracoccus denitrificans, Rhodopseudomonas palustris, Rhodospirillum rubrum, and Rhodospirillum fulvum.
