Characterization of a zwf mutant of Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942.
A mutant of the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. strain PCC 7942 carrying a disrupted gene encoding glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (zwf) produced no detectable glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase as assessed by enzyme assay and Western blot (immunoblot) analysis. This mutant exhibited significantly impaired dark viability.
