Abstract excerpt
In Rhodobacter sphaeroides, cytochrome c2 (cyt c2) is a periplasmic redox protein required for photosynthetic electron transfer. cyt c2-deficient mutants created by replacing the gene encoding the apoprotein for cyt c2 (cycA) with a kanamycin resistance cartridge are photosynthetically incompetent. Spontaneous mutations that suppress this photosynthesis deficiency (spd mutants) arise at a frequency of 1 to 10 in...
