Abstract

The hemoprotein content of 17 strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum bacteroids from field-grown plants and the corresponding strains of cultured cells was determined spectrally. The major terminal oxidases, cytochromes (cyt) aa 3 and o , were present in all strains of cultured cells. cyt aa 3 was present in significant amounts in bacteroids only in strains of DNA homology group II. cyt o appeared to be present in bacteroids of all strains, and the average level was the same as in cultured cells. cyt b and c in the membrane fractions were higher in bacteroids of all strains compared with cultured cells. cyt P-450 was present in both the membrane and soluble fractions of bacteroids of most strains. The total P-450 content varied sixfold among strains. A CO-reactive hemoprotein, P-422, was present in the soluble fraction of all strains of cultured cells. P-422 may be a hemoglobinlike protein, and it was present in significant amounts in bacteroids only in DNA homology group I strains.
