| Abstract | We have recently established that the facultative phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides, like the closely related Rhodobacter capsulatus species, contains both the previously characterized mobile electron carrier cytochrome c 2 (cyt c 2) and the more recently discovered membrane-anchored cyt c y. However, R. sphaeroides cyt c y, unlike that of R. capsulatus, is unable to function as an efficient electron carrier between the photochemical reaction center and the cyt bc 1 complex during photosynthetic growth. Nonetheless, R. sphaeroides cyt c y can act at least in R. capsulatus as an electron carrier between the cyt bc 1 complex and the cbb 3-type cyt c oxidase (cbb 3-Cox) to support respiratory growth. Since R. sphaeroides harbors both a cbb 3-Cox and an aa 3-type cyt c oxidase (aa 3-Cox), we examined whether R. sphaeroides cyt c y can act as an electron carrier to either or both of these respiratory terminal oxidases. R. sphaeroides mutants which lacked either cyt c 2 or cyt c y and either the aa 3-Cox or the cbb 3-Cox were obtained. These double mutants contained linear respiratory electron transport pathways between the cyt bc 1 complex and the cyt c oxidases. They were characterized with respect to growth phenotypes, contents of a-, b-, and c-type cytochromes, cyt c oxidase activities, and kinetics of electron transfer mediated by cyt c 2 or cyt c y. The findings demonstrated that both cyt c 2 and cyt c y are able to carry electrons efficiently from the cyt bc 1 complex to either the cbb 3-Cox or the aa 3-Cox. Thus, no dedicated electron carrier for either of the cyt c oxidases is present in R. sphaeroides. However, under semiaerobic growth conditions, a larger portion of the electron flow out of the cyt bc 1 complex appears to be mediated via the cyt c 2-to-cbb 3-Cox and cyt cy -to-cbb 3-Cox subbranches. The presence of multiple electron carriers and cyt c oxidases with different properties that can operate concurrently reveals that the respiratory electron transport pathways of R. sphaeroides are more complex than those of R. capsulatus. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
