Abstract

Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 is a facultatively photoheterotrophic bacterium. The AppA protein is required for increased photo system gene expression upon transition from aerobic respiration to anaerobic photosynthesis condition. This protein has FAD binding domain in amino terminus and cysteine-rich motif in carboxy terminus.(omitted)
