Abstract excerpt
The levels of form I and form II ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO) from Rhodobacter sphaeroides were found to depend on the concentration of ammonia supplied to photolithoautotrophically grown cultures. Under conditions in which the cells rapidly depleted the available ammonia, the level of in situ RubisCO activity decreased to less than 5% maximum activity; even at its maximum level under...
