Characteristics and Evolutionary Analysis of Photosynthetic Gene Clusters on Extrachromosomal Replicons: from Streamlined Plasmids to Chromids

Characteristics and Evolutionary Analysis of Photosynthetic Gene Clusters on Extrachromosomal Replicons: from Streamlined Plasmids to Chromids

ABSTRACT Aerobic anoxygenic photoheterotrophic bacteria (AAPB) represent a bacteriochlorophyll a-containing functional group. Substantial evidence indicates that highly conserved photosynthetic gene clusters (PGCs) of AAPB can be transferred between species, genera, and even phyla. Furthermore, anal...
