General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function heterologous expression of the bchG gene product in Escherichia coli confers bacteriochlorophyll a synthase activity. Bacteriochlorophyll a synthase utilizes bacteriochlorophyllide a, but not chlorophyllide a as a substrate Rhodobacter capsulatus
