A recombinant plasmid has been selected from the genomic library of Rhodobacter sphaeroides that restores the properties of the wild type strain in the mutant Drn121. The latter possesses the derepressed synthesis of nitrogenase when grown in the light, inability of nitrogen fixation in the dark and growth on potassium nitrate as a single source of nitrogen, disruption of ammonium ions and methylamine...
