This document describes research conducted between June 1986 and June 1987. Results dealing with the organization and regulation of genes in the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus includes cloning, sequencing, and demonstrating characterizing the products of genes that regulate expression of nitrogen fixation genes; the connection between DNA supercoiling mediated by DNA gyrase and nif gene expression; and mapping the entire chromosome of R. capsulatus.
