Abstract excerpt

Rhodospirillum rubrum is a facultatively phototrophic bacterium that, under certain growth conditions, forms an intracytoplasmic chromatophore membrane (ICM) housing the photochemical apparatus. The puf operon of R. rubrum encodes protein subunits of the photochemical reaction center and the B880...
