Abstract
Antibodies to the large and small subunits of ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (RuBisCO; EC 4.1-1.39) and a putative binding protein (PBP) for RuBisCO from Chromatium vinosum have been used to localize these proteins in thin sections. Immunogold techniques employing single and double antibodies establish that RuBisCO and the RuBisCO PBP are concentrated in the cell envelope of C. vinosum.
