Further studies on ribulose-l,5-diphosphate carboxylase from Rhodopseudomonas spheroides and Rhodospirillum rubrum1,2
Seikagaku Seigyo Kenkyu Shiseisu, Nagoya University School of Agriculture, Nagoya, Japan
Some enzymic properties of RuDP carboxylase isolated from Rhodopseudomonas spheroides and Rhodospirillum rubrum, grown under autotrophic, semi-autotrophic and heterotrophic conditions were studied. Regardless of the growing condition, the nature of the enzyme from each respective bacterium remained unchanged. The molecular weight of R. spheroides and R. rubrum RuDP carboxylase was estimated to be approximately 2.4x105 and 8.3x104, respectively. Both enzymes require Mg++. Their kinetic properties were also examined.
