Abstract excerpt
A bacteriochlorophyll a biosynthesis mutant of the purple photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus was functionally complemented with a cosmid genomic library from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The complemented R. capsulatus strain contains a defined mutation in the bchM gene that codes for...
