From their hybrid properties, the reaction centres of green sulphur bacteria and heliobacteria seem to be the missing links between the two branches of the reaction centre family, typified by higher plant photosystem I and the purple bacterial reaction centre. This suggests that all of the diverse types of photosynthetic reaction centres have closer structural resemblances than was previously thought.
从它们的杂交特性来看,绿硫细菌和嗜盐菌的反应中心似乎是反应中心家族两个分支之间缺失的环节,这两个分支分别以高等植物光系统I和紫色细菌反应中心为代表。这表明,所有不同类型的光合反应中心在结构上的相似性比之前认为的更为紧密。
