Investigation of candidate genes involved in the rhodoquinone biosynthetic pathway in Rhodospirillum rubrum.

Investigation of candidate genes involved in the rhodoquinone biosynthetic pathway in Rhodospirillum rubrum.

The lipophilic electron-transport cofactor rhodoquinone (RQ) facilitates anaerobic metabolism in a variety of bacteria and selected eukaryotic organisms in hypoxic environments. We have shown that an intact rquA gene in Rhodospirillum rubrum is required for RQ production and efficient growth of the...
