Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a new class of nitrogen fixation genes in Rhodobacter capsulatus: a putative membrane complex involved in electron transport to nitrogenase

TL;DR: The hypothesis that this new class of nitrogen fixation genes encodes components of an electron transfer system to nitrogenase was corroborated by analysing the effect of metronidazole.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copper-responsive gene regulation in bacteria
TL;DR: This review summarizes the current knowledge on copper-sensing transcriptional regulators, which are assigned to nine different classes and include CueR, CopY and CsoR, which were initially identified in Escherichia coli, Enterococcus hirae and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and mapping of nitrogen fixation genes of Rhodobacter capsulatus: duplication of a nifA-nifB region.
TL;DR: In this article, the Tn5 insertion sites of 30 Nif- mutants were mapped within three unlinked chromosomal regions designated A, B, and C. Hybridization experiments using all 17 Klebsiella pneumoniae nif genes individually as probes revealed homology to nifE, nifS, NifA, and nifB in nif region A.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic characterization and sequence analysis of the duplicated nifA/nifB gene region of Rhodobacter capsulatus.
TL;DR: A DNA region showing homology to Klebsiella pneumoniae nifA and nifB is duplicated in Rhodobacter capsulatus, and deletion mutagenesis demonstrated that either of the two copies is sufficient for growth in nitrogen-free medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of GlnB and GlnK in ammonium control of both nitrogenase systems in the phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus.
Thomas Drepper,Silke Groß,Alexander F. Yakunin,Patrick C. Hallenbeck,Bernd Masepohl,Werner Klipp +5 more
TL;DR: Mutational analysis revealed that both P(II)-like proteins are involved in the ammonium regulation of the two nitrogenase systems, resulting in the synthesis of active molybdenum nitrogenase even in the presence of high concentrations of ammonium.
