Hokkaido University, Sapporo)(Received for publication, September 4, 1968) Sulfite reduction is known to be a step of the reduction of sulfate to sulfide in both sulfate-reducing bacteria (1, 2) and sulfateassimilating organisms (3). In the latter organisms, the enzymes responsible for the reduction of sulfite to sulfide have been obtained in highly purified states (4-6) and characterized as single proteins, sulfite reductases [hydrogen-sulfide: NADP oxidoreductase, EC 1.8. 1.2]. However, the enzyme system of sulfate-reducing bacteria has been only partially purified (7). The present communication reports on intermediary formation of trithionate in the course of sulfite reduction by an enzyme preparation froma sulfate-reducing bacterium, Desulfovibriovulgaris.
