Isolation of Flavohemoglobin from the Actinomycete Streptomyces antibioticus Grown without External Nitric Oxide Stress.

Reports on the isolation of flavocytochrome protein from the actinomycete Streptomyces antibioticus by researchers from Tokyo, Japan. Success of researchers in growing flavohemoglobin (Fhb) without external nitric oxide stress; Presence of protoheme and FAD in the purified protein; Evidence that the flavocytochrome is the first Fhb purified from actinomycetes.
