Bioenergetic and Metabolic Process Patterns in Anoxyphototrophs

  • Chapter
The Phototrophic Prokaryotes

Abstract

During the past decade, genetic and molecular biological approaches have given us a much better understanding of how photopigment synthesis is regulated in photosynthetic bacteria, but there still is a large gap in our knowledge of the mechanisms that integrate photophosphorylation and reducing power generation with the overall biosynthesis of cell material.
