Complete DNA sequence, specific Tn5 insertion map, and gene assignment of the carotenoid biosynthesis pathway of Rhodobacter sphaeroides.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Apr 1995

Lang H P, Cogdell R J, Takaichi S, Hunter C N

Abstract excerpt

The carotenoid biosynthesis genes form a cluster within the genome of Rhodobacter sphaeroides, lying in the middle of a larger cluster and 45 kb in length, which contains genes for bacteriochlorophyll biosynthesis and for the reaction center and light-harvesting apoproteins. The positions and approximate limits of the carotenoid genes were determined previously by localized transposon Tn5 mutagenesis and by...
