Abstract
The genes encoding cytochrome f (petA), cytochrome b(6) (petB), the Rieske FeS-protein (petC), and subunit IV (petD) of the cytochrome b(6)f complex f rom the thermophilic cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus were cloned and sequenced. Similar to other cyanobacteria, the structural genes are arrang ed in two short, single-copy operons, petC/petA and petB/petD, respectively . In addition, five open reading frames with homology to known orfs from th e cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803 were identified in the immediate vi cinity of these two operons.
