Abstract excerpt
Further genetic evidence is provided here that Bradyrhizobium japonicum possesses a mitochondria-like electron-transport pathway: 2[H]----UQ----bc1----c----aa3----O2. Two Tn5-induced mutants, COX122 and COX132, having cytochrome c oxidase-negative phenotypes, were obtained and characterized. Mutant COX122 was defective in a novel gene, named cycM, which was responsible for the synthesis of a c-type cytochrome...
