Abstract excerpt
A mutant of Rhodobacter sphaeroides, N1, has been isolated which is incapable of photosynthetic growth and, instead of synthesizing bacteriochlorophyll, N1 excretes coproporphyrin III into the growth medium. Using conjugative gene transfer, several clones were isolated from a R. sphaeroides gene...
