Comparative analysis of a CFo ATP synthase subunit II homologue derived from marine and fresh-water algae

J Biosci Bioeng. 2009 Nov;108(5):365-8. doi: 10.1016/j.jbiosc.2009.05.017. Epub 2009 Jul 17.

Abstract

Comparative analysis was performed with a CFo ATP synthase subunit II homologue (CFo-II) derived from marine or fresh-water algae. The marine algae-derived CFo-II-transformed Escherichia coli grew and accumulated ATP more vigorously in NaCl or Cadmium containing medium, suggesting that this gene was useful for the development of stress-tolerant plant.
