Abstract excerpt
The orf162b sequence, the second open reading frame 3' of the reaction center (RC) H protein gene puhA in the Rhodobacter capsulatus photosynthesis gene cluster, is shown to be transcribed from a promoter located 5' of puhA. A nonpolar mutation of orf162b was generated by replacing most of the coding region with an antibiotic resistance cartridge. Although the mutant strain initiated rapid photosynthetic growth,...
