General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction insertional mutants in pecE and pecF, and an interposon mutant in which a portion of both pecE and pecF is deleted, are constructed. All three types of mutants grew 1.3 times slower than wild-type under limiting light conditions and show a 20% reduction in the phycocyanobilin content of whole cells relative to chlorophyll alpha. Holo-phycoerythrocyanin is missing from the phycobilisomes of all three types of mutants and the level of the phycoerythrocyanin linker polypeptide is reduced relative to the wild-type Nostoc sp.
