Introduction

A genomic library was constructed by partial digestion with EcoRI/BamHI and BgII/XhoI followed by ligation of all the fragments into EcoRI/XhoI and BgII/XhoI site of the cosmid vector pET29bEBBX. Oligonucleotide primers were synthesized by Intergrated DNA technologies (IDT),Inc, Coraville, IA. Nucleotide sequence analysis was analysed using Lasergene Megasoftware. Database search was done using Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). Sequence Compilation Sequence Alignment. The presence of the photosynthetic gene cluster involved in the steps of the bacteriochlorophyll/chlorophyll biosynthesis pathway between Mg-chelation and formation of chlorophyllide (bchI, bchD, bchH, bchJ, bchM,bchE,bchL,bchN and bchB) were found by inspection of the ORFs (Xion et al).
