Abstract excerpt
During oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds, the purple sulfur bacterium Allochromatium vinosum stores sulfur in the periplasm in the form of intracellular sulfur globules. The sulfur in the globules is enclosed by a protein envelope that consists of the homologous 10.5-kDa proteins SgpA and SgpB and the smaller 8.5-kDa SgpC. Reporter gene fusions of sgpA and alkaline phosphatase showed the constitutive...
