Abstract excerpt
The exact function of the pufX gene product of Rhodobacter capsulatus is uncertain, but deletion of the pufX gene renders cells incapable of phototrophic growth on a minimal medium, and photosynthetic electron transfer is impaired in vitro. However, suppressor mutants that are able to grow photot...
