Abstract
The nature and concentration of ubiqulnone in six species of Athiorhodaceae have been examined after growth under aerobic and photosynthetic conditions. Increase in ubiquinone concentration during adaptive synthesis of photosynthetic pigments by Rhodopseudomonas spheroides incubated under low-aeration conditions was observed. The nature of the carbon source was found to have a marked effect on ubiquinone, as well as bacteriochlorophyll, concentrations.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
