Abstract excerpt

Escherichia coli cells carrying the mvrA mutation are unable to grow aerobically in the presence of the radical propagator methyl viologen (MV). Resistance against MV toxicity could be restored by the introduction of cloned DNA sequences encoding pea chloroplast ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase (FNR),...
