Phototrophic growth of halobacteria and its use for isolation of photosynthetically-deficient mutants.

Annales de microbiologie - 1 Jan 2000

Oesterhelt D, Krippahl G

Abstract excerpt

Phototrophic growth conditions for halobacteria in complex and synthetic media have been established, demonstrating the photosynthetic capacity of this class of archaebacteria. Mutagenesis, 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine selection and screening techniques are described which are useful tools in the eluc...
