Midpoint potentials of cytochromes in vesicles of anaerobically-grown Paracoccus denitrificans determined by the indirect coulometric titration method.

1. Multiplicity of redox components with spectral properties similar to b-type cytochromes was established in vesicles derived fro anaerobically-grown Paracoccus denitrificans. 2. Multiplicity of c-type cytochromes was not apparent either from low temperature spectroscopy or potentiometric titrations. 3. Cytochromes a + a3 and a component, only observable at liquid nitrogen temperature, with a spectral maximum at 582.5 nm were detected. 4. Redox cycling of electron transport components using the indirect coulometric titration method was a convenient means of pairing redox potentials and was reproducible in total absorbance changes, midpoint potentials and spectral maxima.
