Abstract
The homology of Rhodopseudomonas capsulata DNA segments carrying photosynthesis genes with sequences present in total DNA from certain other photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic bacterial species was determined by hybridization. R. capsulata DNA fragments that carry loci for production of peptide components of the photosynthetic reaction center and light-harvesting I antenna complex were found to hybridize to DNA from some photosynthetic species. However, fragments that carry carotenoid or bacteriochlorophyll biosynthesis genes showed either weak or undetectable heterospecific hybridization under the conditions employed.Entities:
