High-level synthesis of complex enzymes like bacterial [NiFe] hydrogenases, in general, requires an expression system that allows concerted expression of a large number of genes. So far, it has not been possible to overproduce a hydrogenase in a stable and active form by using a customary expression system. Therefore we started to establish a new, T7-based expression system in the phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus. The beneficial properties of this bacterial host in combination with the unique capacity of T7 RNA polymerase to synthesize long transcripts will allow the high-level synthesis and assembly of active hydrogenase as well as other complex enzymes in the near future.

Patterns of endogenous plasmids and nitrate reductase activities were analyzed in the phototrophic bacterium Rhodobacter (Rb.) capsulatus. From 10 strains investigated (including a UV-induced plasmidless nit- mutant), 4 were unable to grow photosynthetically with nitrate as N-source and lacked nitrate reductase activity (nit strains). Irrespective of the nit phenotype, all wildtype strains contained at least one large plasmid with a size ranging from 93 to 134 kb. Thus, other than in plasmid- cured mutants (J. C. Willison, FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 66, 23-28[1990]), in wild-type strains of Rb. capsulatus the nit- character was not related to lack of endogenous plasmids.
