Complete Genome Sequence of the Bacteriochlorophyll b-Producing Photosynthetic Bacterium Blastochloris viridis

We report the complete genome sequence of the purple photosynthetic bacterium Blastochloris viridis belonging to α-Proteobacteria. This is the first completed genome sequence of a phototroph producing bacteriochlorophyll b. The genome information will be useful for further analysis of the photosynth...

Sumario:We report the complete genome sequence of the purple photosynthetic bacterium Blastochloris viridis belonging to α-Proteobacteria. This is the first completed genome sequence of a phototroph producing bacteriochlorophyll b. The genome information will be useful for further analysis of the photosynthetic energy conversion system and bacteriochlorophyll pigment biosynthesis.
