Abstract
Crude extracts from Anabaena PCC 7119 show the presence of the 49 kDa form of ferredoxin-NADP(+) reductase (FNR) (NADP, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) which is processed to the 36 kDa form after i ncubation at room temperature. The use of acetone precipitation as the disruption procedure anticipated the presence of the 36 kDa FNR. Seve ral active fractions of FNR contained phycobiliproteins, and different electrophoretic patterns were observed when samples obtained from iso lated heterocysts or vegetative cells were compared.
