An enzyme which catalyzes the reductive formation of trithionate from sulfite is present in extracts of the sulfate reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio gigas and has been termed, bisulfite reductase. This activity has been purified and the enzyme identified as the green pigment, desulfoviridin, by gel electrophoresis and ultracentrifugation. The stoichiometry of the reduction of sulfite to trithionate is established and some physical properties of the enzyme reported.
