Genetic recombination in Rhodopseudomonas capsulata.
نویسنده
چکیده
A system for genetic exchange in Rhodopseudomonas capsulata has been discovered. Each genetic marker thus far examined can be transferred, and many strains of Rps. capsulata can participate in genetic exchange. The mechanism of gene transfer seems unlike that of any previously described bacterial system, since genes can be transferred by cell-free filtrates, but the vector is resistant to deoxyribonuclease and has a sedimentation constant of about 70 S.

Genetic-physical mapping of a photosynthetic gene cluster from R. capsulata.
Transposon mutagenesis and complementation analysis of the photosynthesis genes in Rhodopseudomonas capsulata is presented utilizing Tn5.7 mutagenized R-primes. The R-prime pRPS404 contains many of the genes necessary for the differentiation of the photosynthetic apparatus. Utilizing homologous recombination, 30 independent copies of Tn5.7 were inserted into the R. capsulata chromosome with sub...
متن کاملGlycerol-utilizing mutants of Rhodopseudomonas capsulata.
The isolation and study of glycerol-utilizing mutants of Rhodopseudomonas capsulata indicated that the wild-type organism has genes capable of coding for the catabolism of glycerol but is unable to express them. Furthermore, the genetic lesion in the original glycerol-utilizing mutant, L1, occurred very close to these genes.

The assimilatory nitrate reductase was purified 60-fold from a newly isolated, nitrate assmilating strain of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodopseudomonas capsulata. The enzyme had a molecular weight of about 180 000 dalton and was typically prokaryotic in that it was not active with reduced pyridine nucleotides but rather with reduced flavins.

After growth in the absence of nitrogenous oxides under anaerobic phototrophic conditions, several strains of Rhodopseudomonas capsulata were shown to possess a nitrous oxide reductase activity. The enzyme responsible for this activity had a periplasmic location and resembled a nitrous oxide reductase purified from Pseudomonas perfectomarinus. Electron flow to nitrous oxide reductase was couple...
متن کاملAnaerobic regulation of nitrogen-fixation genes in Rhodopseudomonas capsulata.
A Rhodopseudomonas capsulata nifH::lacZ gene fusion was used to isolate constitutive mutants of R. capsulata, unable to repress nif gene transcription anaerobically with every fixed-nitrogen source tested. When these nifc strains were grown aerobically, nif gene transcription was repressed. These results indicate that the regulation of nif gene transcription by fixed nitrogen is different from ...
