Abstract:
The electron transport system in Pseudomonas hydrogenothermophila strain TH-1, a thermophilic, aerobic hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium, was studied using a membrane fraction, an ubiquinone-depleted membrane fraction (Q(-) MF), and an ubiqunone-reconstituted membrane fraction (Q(+) MF). From spectrophotometric and TLC analyses, cytochromes b and c, ubiquinone-8 (Q8), and cytochrome o were detected as respiratory components in the membrane fraction of P. hydrogenothermophila. Spectrophotometric analyses also showed that reduction of all the components in the membrane fraction depends on a membrane-bound hydrogenase reaction. In Q(-) MF, reduction of cytochromes b and c depending on membrane-bound hydrogenase reaction could not be observed. However, the reduction was restored in Q(+) MF. From these results, a possible electron transport system in P. hydrogenothermophila strain TH-1 is proposed.

Photosystem I
Both these photosystems work in concert. An excited electron from PSII is relayed to PSI via an electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast, which is comprised of the carrier molecule plastoquinone, the dual-protein cytochrome complex, and plastocyanin. As electrons move between PSII and PSI, they lose energy and must be re-energized...
