Description
Rhodobacter capsulatus is a purple, nonsulfur photosynthetic bacterium. The biochemical versatility to choose between photo- and heterotrophic growth and nitrogen fixation is packed in a genome that is 75% of the size of the Escherichia coli genome. Ease of plating and generation of mutations together with convenient systems for cloning and genetic analysis make R.capsulatus a popular model system for studies of photochemical reaction centers and nitrogen fixation. The GTA (gene transfer agent) has been used for insertional mutagenesis, gene replacement, and linkage analysis (from http://rhodo.img.cas.cz/).
