Map of genes for carotenoid and bacteriochlorophyll biosynthesis in Rhodopseudomonas capsulata
Open accessAbstract
The recently discovered gene transfer system of Rhodopseudomonas capsulata was used to construct a genetic map of a region concerned with bacteriochlorophyll and carotenoid production. Mutants blocked in the biosynthesis of these compounds were isolated, and each was characterized on the basis of pigments accumulated during growth under low pO2. One-point, two-point, three-point, and ratio test crosses were performed between various mutant strains, and the results were amenable to conventional genetic analyses. A mapping function was found that related cotransfer frequency to map distance. Seven clusters of mutations, five affecting carotenoid and two affecting bacteriochlorophyll biosynthesis, were arranged in one linkage group. Each cluster of mutations is thought to represent a gene. The length of the mapped region is estimated to be less than 1% of the genome. Cotransfer is observed between markers separated by about 5 to 10 genes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
