Abstract excerpt
Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 has the ability to synthesize a variety of tetrapyrroles, reflecting the metabolic versatility of this organism and making it capable of aerobic, anaerobic, photosynthetic, and diazotrophic growth. The hemA and hemT genes encode isozymes that catalyze the formation of 5-aminolevulinic acid, the first step in the biosynthesis of all tetrapyrroles present in R. sphaeroides 2.4.1. As...
