Abstract excerpt
Contradictory results on the effectiveness of energy transfer from the light harvesting complex 2 (LH2) directly to the reaction center (RC) in mutant strains lacking the core light-harvesting complex 1 (LH1) have been obtained with cells of Rhodobacter capsulatus and Rhodobacter sphaeroides. A LH1(-) mutant of Rhodovulum sulfidophilum, named rsLRI, was constructed by deletion of the pufBA genes, resulting in a...
