SQR(sulfide quinone reductase),from Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 plasmid pAQ7

 SQR introduction:

Sulfide-dependent anoxygenic photosynthesis, driven by photosystem I (PS/I) alone, among cyanobacteria was first described for Oscillatoria limnetica from Solar Lake. Later photosynthetic sulfide oxidation in O. limnetica led to the discovery of sulfide-quinone reductase (SQR; E.C.1.8.5.′), a novel enzyme that transfers electrons from sulfide into the quinone pool.

 Cloning of SQR gene:

SQR gene came from Synechococcus elongatus PCC7002 because the hypersaline strain S. elongatus PCC 7002, which is already sequenced, is 96% similar to O.limnetica SQR gene.
