Abstract
An electron-transferring agent was isolated from C. thermosaccharolyticum. This factor was found to participate as an electron carrier in the phosphoroclastic reaction of pyruvate, with the subsequent formation of acetylphosphate and H2. It can be employed interchangeably with the ferredoxin of C. pasteurianum in various reactions. Thermal-stability studies indicated that this factor from C. thermosaccharolyticum is comparatively more heat-resistant than the carrier obtained from C. pasteurianum. It is concluded that this carrier is ferredoxin or a ferredoxin-like substance.Keywords
