Abstract excerpt
The sodB gene encoding the only superoxide dismutase (Fe-SOD) in cells of the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 was inactivated with gentamycin resistance aacC1 marker insertions located in the direct or inverted order toward the sodB gene. The corresponding delta sodB12 and delta sodB22 mutants are characterized by the complete absence of superoxide dismutase activity and the loss of viability upon...
