Popis: Plasmid pFR400, a derivative of the vector plasmid pPHU231 containing the structural genes of the periplasmic nitrate reductase (nap genes) of Rhodobacter sphaeroides DSM 158 (F. Reyes et al., Molec. Microbiol. 19, 1307-1318 [1996]) was transferred by conjugative mating to a streptomycin-resistant strain of the nitrate reductase-negative nonsulfur purple bacterium Rhodospirillum rubrum S1. Transconjugant cells of the latter bacterium, identified by their resistance to streptomycin and tetracycline and by their plasmid pattern, contained an active nitrate reductase which, like other periplasmic bacterial nitrate reductases, was not repressed by ammonium.
