Abstract excerpt
The PpsR protein is a regulator of redox-dependent photosystem development in purple phototrophic bacteria. In contrast to most species, Rhodopseudomonas palustris contains two ppsR genes. We show that the inactivation of each of the R. palustris strain CGA009 ppsR genes results in an elevated level of formation of the photosystem under dark aerobic conditions. Absorption spectra of the two PpsR mutants revealed...
