Porphyrin Excretion Resulting From Mutation of a Gene Encoding a Class I Fructose 1,6-Bisphosphate Aldolase in Rhodobacter capsulatus

This paper describes a mutant (called SB1707) of the Rhodobacter capsulatus wild type strain SB1003 in which a transposon-disrupted rcc01707 gene resulted in a ∼25-fold increase in the accumulation of coproporphyrin III in the medium of phototrophic (anaerobic) cultures grown in a yeast extract/pept...
