Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of the genes for the cyanobacterial phytochromes cph1 and cph2 in the unicellular cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803 affected the growth of the cells under certain light conditions. Differences in growth were detected by recording growth curves and in competition experiments. Mutation of cph1 and cph2 resulted in different effects. The cph1-mutant strains exhibited a reduced growth rate...
