Abstract: 
The bluF gene of Rhodobacter capsulatus is the first gene of the bluFEDCB operon which is involved in late steps of the cobalamin synthesis. To determine the function of the bluF gene product, a bluF::Omega-Km mutant strain was constructed and characterized. This vitamin B-12 auxotrophic mutant strain shows a 3.5-times higher vitamin B-12 requirement under phototrophic growth conditions than under chemotrophic growth conditions. Surprising, the bluF promoter activity does not respond to alterations to the oxygen tension or vitamin B-12 concentration.
