An inducible sulfite reductase was purified from C. pasteurianum. The pH optimum of the enzyme was 7.5 in phosphate buffer. The MW of the reductase was determined to be 83,600 from sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis with a proposed molecular structure: .alpha.2.beta.2. Its absorption spectrum showed a maximum at 275 nm, a broad shoulder at 370 nm and a very small absorption maximum at 585 nm. No siroheme chromophore was isolated from this reductase. The enzyme reduced the following substrates in preferential order: NH2OH > SeO32- > NO22- at rates .ltoreq. 50% of its preferred substrate SO32-. The proposed dissimilatory intermediates, S3O62- or S2O32-, were not utilized by this reductase; KCN inhibited its activity. Varying the substrate concentration [SO32-] from 1 to 2.5 .mu.mol affected the stoichiometry of the enzyme reaction by alteration of the ratio of H2 uptake to S2- formed from 2.5:1 to 3.1:1. The inducible sulfite reductase was linked to ferredoxin which could be completely replaced by methyl viologen or partially by benzyl viologen. Some of the enzyme properties and physiological considerations indicated that it was a dissimilatory type sulfite reductase.
