Rhodopseudomonas palustris assimilates CO2 by the Calvin-Benson-Bassham (CBB) reductive pentose phosphate pathway. Most genes required for a functional CBB pathway are clustered into the cbbI and cbbII operons, with the cbbI operon subject to control by a LysR transcriptional activator, CbbR, encode...
