Abstract excerpt
The puf and puc operons of Rhodobacter capsulatus, which encode pigment binding proteins, are regulated by oxygen tension. Strain IR4 which carries a point mutation in the himA gene for integration host factor (IHF) shows a delayed increase in the amount of photosynthetic complexes after reduction of oxygen tension when compared to the isogenic wild-type strain. This delay in the formation of photosynthetic...
