Regulation of photosynthetic membrane synthesis in Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 is dependent on the interactions numerous regulatory elements, with two most important being cbb(3) terminal oxidase and PrrBAC two-component system. Here, we reveal that possesses extensive, additional activities under anaerobic conditions, system further involved regulation expression more than 20% R. genome extending well beyond functions related to redox gene expression.
