Project description:We measured steady-state transcript levels in 1) wild-type E. litoralis DSM 8509, 2) a nepR-ecfG deletion strain (ΔnepR-ecfG), 3) a phyR deletion strain (ΔphyR), 4) a lovK-lovR deletion strain (ΔlovKR), and 5) a gsrK-gsrP deletion strain (ΔgsrKΔgsrP) cultivated in constant white light or in constant dark conditions.
Project description:Erythrobacter litoralis has been known as a bacteriochlorophyll a-containing, aerobic, anoxygenic, phototrophic bacterium. Here we announce the complete genome sequence of E. litoralis HTCC2594, which is devoid of phototrophic potential. E. litoralis HTCC2594, isolated by dilution-to-extinction culturing from seawater, could not carry out aerobic anoxygenic phototrophy and lacked genes for bacteriochlorophyll a biosynthesis and photosynthetic reaction center proteins.
