Abstract
Both reaction centers containing and lacking cytochrome c were obtaine d from a new halophilic photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum (R.) s odomense. The cytochrome c has a very low reduction potential not to b e reduced by Na-ascorbate. The special pair bands in the both reaction centers exists at around 850 nm, some 20 nm to the blue of that of a nonhalophilic species, R. rubrum.
