Abstract excerpt
The pigment-binding proteins of Rhodobacter capsulatus are encoded by the polycistronic puf and puc operons. Both operons show higher expression under low oxygen tension than under high oxygen tension in the wild-type strain. The Tn5 mutant strain AH2 shows only low levels of puf and puc mRNA und...
