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 alternative electron acceptor, but it is not essential for aerobic growth. In this study, the fnrL loc ...[more]
