Characterization of the Pigment-Protein Complex in Corynebacterium Poinsettiae

The purpose of this study was to completely characterize the protein moiety in the caroteno complex in C. poinsettae, determine if the distribution and level of protein in the pigment-protein complex in membranes of the wild type and in a colorless mutant could account for the differences in the stability of the membrane, and to determine if this protein is common to other pigmented and non-pigmented organisms. Also, electron microscopy of cell membranes of C. poinsettiae which had been exposed to gold-labelled antibody against the protein moitey of the pigment-protein complex, demonstrating that the protein is randomly distributed in the membranes of both wild type and colorless mutant.
