Abstract

A relatively stable purified enzyme preparation has been obtained from Rhodospirillum rubrum which catalyzes the formation of acetyl coenzyme A form ATP, acetate and CoA. AMP and pyrophosphate were shown to be end products of the reaction and also inhibitors of the reaction. The properties of the enzyme system have been described and found to be similar to those described for the yeast, heart muscle and plant enzymes.
