Abstract excerpt
Mutant strains of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter sphaeroides, lacking either LH1, the RC or PufX, were analysed by mild detergent fractionation of the cores. This reveals a hierarchy of binding of PufX in the order RC:LH1 > LH1 > RC. The assembly of photosynthetic membranes was studied by switching highly aerated cells to conditions of low aeration in the dark. The RC-H subunit appears before other...
