Abstract Chlorobium phaeobacteroides contains two soluble basic c-type cytochromes, a flavocytochrome c-552 and a small cytochrome c-555. Both electron transfer proteins were highly purified by ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration. The flavocytochrome c-552 exhibits maxima at 552 nm, 523 nm and 416 nm in the reduced state and at 409.5 nm with two shoulders at 440 nm and 480 nm in the oxidized form. The best purity index (A280/A416)obtained was 0.65. The molecular properties of this flavocytochrome are as follows: isoelectric point, pH 9.5 - 10; redox potential, +63 mV; molecular weight, 56,000. Cytochrome c-555 is a small basic hemoprotein with an isoelectric point of pH 9.5 - 10, a molecular weight of 9,500 and a midpoint redox potential of +105 mV. The best purity index {A280/A418) obtained was 0.176. The oxidized form of this cytochrome has a maximum at 411.5 nm, while the reduced state shows three maxima (α-band at 554.5 nm; β-band at 523 nm, and γ-band at 418 nm). The a-band is asymmetrical with a typical shoulder at 551 nm.

The enzyme 4-ethylphenol methylenehydroxylase was purified from Pseudomonas putida JD1 grown on 4-ethylphenol. It is a flavocytochrome c for which the Mr was found to be 120,000 by ultracentrifuging and 126,000 by gel filtration. The enzyme consists of two flavoprotein subunits each of Mr 50,000 and two cytochrome c subunits each of Mr 10,000. The redox potential of the cytochrome is 240 mV. Hydroxylation proceeds by dehydrogenation and hydration to give 1-(4′-hydroxyphenyl)ethanol, which is also dehydrogenated by the same enzyme to 4-hydroxyacetophenone. The enzyme will hydroxylate p-cresol but is more active with alkylphenols with longer-chain alkyl groups. It is located in the periplasm of the bacterium.
