Abstract
We are interested in the multiple forms of ferredoxin found in photo-synthetic cells. Two easily dissolved and one membrane bound form of ferredoxin are found in the vegetative cells of cyanobacteria and in higher plants.(1) Another form of ferredoxin has been found in the heterocysts of nitrogen fixing cyanobacteria and this form preferentially reacts with nitrogenase.(2) Here we describe the isolation and structure of the gene for ferredoxin I — the most commonly encountered form of ferredoxin.
