Complete genome sequence of Rhodospirillum rubrum type strain (S1T)

چکیده
Rhodospirillum rubrum (Esmarch 1887) Molisch 1907 is the type species of the genus Rhodospirillum, which is the type genus of the family Rhodospirillaceae in the class Alphaproteobacteria. The species is of special interest because it is an anoxygenic phototroph that produces extracellular elemental sulfur (instead of oxygen) while harvesting light. It contains one of the most simple photosynthetic systems currently known, lacking light harvesting complex 2. Strain S1(T) can grow on carbon monoxide as sole energy source. With currently over 1,750 PubMed entries, R. rubrum is one of the most intensively studied microbial species, in particular for physiological and genetic studies. Next to R. centenum strain SW, the genome sequence of strain S1(T) is only the second genome of a member of the genus Rhodospirillum to be published, but the first type strain genome from the genus. The 4,352,825 bp long chromosome and 53,732 bp plasmid with a total of 3,850 protein-coding and 83 RNA genes were sequenced as part of the DOE Joint Genome Institute Program DOEM 2002.

متن کاملRhodospirillum rubrum possesses a variant of the bchP gene, encoding geranylgeranyl-bacteriopheophytin reductase.
The bchP gene product of Rhodobacter sphaeroides is responsible for the reduction of the isoprenoid moiety of bacteriochlorophyll (Bchl) from geranylgeraniol (GG) to phytol; here, we show that this enzyme also catalyzes the reduction of the isoprenoid moiety of bacteriopheophytin (Bphe). In contrast, we demonstrate that a newly identified homolog of this gene in Rhodospirillum rubrum encodes an...

A novel hopanoid bearing a glucuronopyranosyl residue linked via an alpha-glycosidic bond to the hydroxyl group of C-35 in bacteriohopanetetrol was isolated, from the type strain of Rhodospirillum rubrum as well as from a mutant lacking blue carotenoid.
متن کاملAmino Acid Sequence of Cytochrome c’ from the Purple Photosynthetic Bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum Sl*
The amino acid sequence of cytochrome c’ from the purple photosynthetic bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum Sl has been determined and is consistent with homology to cytochrome c’ from the nonphotosynthetic bacterium Alcaligenes sp. NCIB 11015. There is 29% identity in the chosen alignment of these two proteins. R. rubrum cytochrome c’ is composed of a single peptide chain of 126 amino acid residue...
متن کاملLack of Citrate Lyase in C. Thiosulfatoph1lum and R. Rubrum
Extracts of Chlorobium thiosuljatophilum and of Rhodospirillum rubrum have been tested for the presence of citrate lyase under various conditions. This enzyme could not be detected. It is, therefore, concluded that a complete reductive carboxylic acid cycle does not occur in these microorganisms. The enzymes required for a-ketoglutarate synthesis from oxaloaetate and acetyl-coenzyme A are prese...
