Title | N o Correlation between Plasmid Content and Ability to Reduce N itrate in W ild-Type Strains o f Rhodobacter capsulatus ![]() | ||
Abstract | Patterns o f endogenous plasmids and nitrate reduc tase activities were analyzed in the phototrophic bacte rium Rhodobacter (Rb.) capsulatus. From 10 strains in vestigated (including a UV-induced plasmidless nit~ mu tant), 4 were unable to grow photosynthetically with nitrate as N-source and lacked nitrate reductase activity (nit strains). Irrespective o f the nit phenotype, all | ||
