Abstract
We report the cloning and sequencing of the gene containing cytochrome c' ( cycP) from the photosynthetic purple bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus and t he regions flanking that gene. Mutant strains unable to synthesize cytochro me c' had increased sensitivity to nitrosothiols and to nitric oxide (which binds to the heme moiety of cytochrome c').
