Abstract excerpt
Whole-cell CO2 fixation and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO) activity were determined in Rhodobacter sphaeroides wild-type and mutant strains. There is no obvious difference in the levels of whole-cell CO2 fixation for the wild type, a form I RubisCO deletion mutant, and...
