PCR analysis of missing or pseudogenisised genes. PCR analysis of Cyanothece sp. ATCC 51142 (CY), R. gibba (RG) and spheroid body (SB) DNA. Amplification with primers specific for the cyanobacterial fdx N, pet J, psb C, cyl 0012 and cyl 0017 genes show that the analysed genes are not encoded in R. gibba and the endosymbiont's genome. CYrecF and SBrecF were used as positive controls. GeneRuler™ Express DNA Ladder (Fermentas) was used as molecular weight standard.
