Rnf Genes in Purple Sulfur Bacterium AUochromatium vinosum

摘要

AUochromatium vinosum is a photosynthetic, diazotrophic purple sulfur bacterium that oxidizes reduced sulfur compounds hydrogen sulfide, elemental sulfur and thiosulfide. In this article, we report the presence of rnf genes in AUochromatium vinosum. some of which have been reported to take part in nitrogen fixation in some species.
