The phylogenetic relationships of Chlorobium tepidum and Chloroflexus aurantiacus based upon their RecA sequences.
Using RecA as the phylogenetic marker, the relationships of the green sulfur bacterium Chlorobium tepidum and the green non-sulfur bacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus to other eubacteria were investigated. The recA genes of the two organisms were cloned, and the resulting protein sequences aligned with 86 other eubacterial RecA sequences. Cb. tepidum was placed as the nearest relative to the Cyt...
متن کاملSANS investigation of the photosynthetic machinery of Chloroflexus aurantiacus.
Green photosynthetic bacteria harvest light and perform photosynthesis in low-light environments, and contain specialized antenna complexes to adapt to this condition. We performed small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) studies to obtain structural information about the photosynthetic apparatus, including the peripheral light-harvesting chlorosome complex, the integral membrane light-harvesting ...
متن کاملRole of the AcsF protein in Chloroflexus aurantiacus.
The green phototrophic bacteria contain a unique complement of chlorophyll pigments, which self-assemble efficiently into antenna structures known as chlorosomes with little involvement of protein. The few proteins found in chlorosomes have previously been thought to have a primarily structural function. The biosynthetic pathway of the chlorosome pigments, bacteriochlorophylls c, d, and e, is n...
متن کاملA bicyclic autotrophic CO2 fixation pathway in Chloroflexus aurantiacus.
Phototrophic CO(2) assimilation by the primitive, green eubacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus has been shown earlier to proceed in a cyclic mode via 3-hydroxypropionate, propionyl-CoA, succinyl-CoA, and malyl-CoA. The metabolic cycle could be closed by cleavage of malyl-CoA affording glyoxylate (the primary CO(2) fixation product) with regeneration of acetyl-CoA serving as the starter unit of th...
متن کاملPolyclonal antibodies to chlorosome proteins as probes for green sulfur bacteria.
We found that polyclonal antibodies raised against chlorosome polypeptides from green sulfur bacteria reacted to Chlorobium tepidum, Chlorobium limicola, and Chlorobium phaeobacteroides but not to Chloroflexus aurantiacus. These antibodies successfully labeled only green sulfur species in marine microbial mat samples. Our results suggest that these antibodies may be useful as immunohistochemica...
