Draft Genome Sequences of Two Heat-Resistant Mutant Strains (A52 and B41) of the Photosynthetic Hydrogen-Producing Bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus
نویسندگان
چکیده
The draft genome sequences of two heat-resistant mutant strains, A52 and B41, derived from Rhodobacter capsulatus DSM 1710, and with different hydrogen production levels, are reported here. These sequences may help understand the molecular basis of heat resistance and hydrogen production in R. capsulatus.

Draft Genome Sequences of Six Rhodobacter capsulatus Strains, YW1, YW2, B6, Y262, R121, and DE442
Rhodobacter capsulatus is a model organism for studying a novel type of horizontal gene transfer mediated by a phage-like gene transfer agent (RcGTA). Here we report the draft genome sequences of six R. capsulatus strains that exhibit different RcGTA properties, including RcGTA overproducers, RcGTA nonproducers, and/or RcGTA nonreceivers.
متن کاملCytochrome c' from Rhodobacter capsulatus confers increased resistance to nitric oxide.
We report the cloning and sequencing of the gene containing cytochrome c' (cycP) from the photosynthetic purple bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus and the regions flanking that gene. Mutant strains unable to synthesize cytochrome c' had increased sensitivity to nitrosothiols and to nitric oxide (which binds to the heme moiety of cytochrome c').
متن کاملTranscriptional Profiling of Hydrogen Production Metabolism of Rhodobacter capsulatus under Temperature Stress by Microarray Analysis
Biohydrogen is a clean and renewable form of hydrogen, which can be produced by photosynthetic bacteria in outdoor large-scale photobioreactors using sunlight. In this study, the transcriptional response of Rhodobacter capsulatus to cold (4 °C) and heat (42 °C) stress was studied using microarrays. Bacteria were grown in 30/2 acetate/glutamate medium at 30 °C for 48 h under continuous illuminat...
متن کاملAnalysis of the fnrL gene and its function in Rhodobacter capsulatus.
The fnr gene encodes a regulatory protein involved in the response to oxygen in a variety of bacterial genera. For example, it was previously shown that the anoxygenic, photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides requires the fnrL gene for growth under anaerobic, photosynthetic conditions. Additionally, the FnrL protein in R. sphaeroides is required for anaerobic growth in the dark with an...
متن کاملRegA of R. capsulatus 291 In Vivo and In Vitro Analysis of RegA Response Regulator Mutants of Rhodobacter capsulatus
In the facultative photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus, the transcription of genes encoding pigment binding proteins is tightly regulated in response to the oxygen partial pressure by the RegB/ RegA two component system. After a shift from high to low oxygen tension, the response regulator RegA enhances transcription of the puf and puc operon coding for the reaction center, light-ha...
