Abstract excerpt
The light-harvesting apparatus of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides is composed of a peripheral LH2 complex which directs excitation energy to the LH1/reaction center core. The puf BA genes encoding the LH1 polypeptides have been deleted, producing a photosynthetically-competent strain which contains LH2 and reaction centers. Time-resolved absorption and fluorescence measurements demonstrate...
