Two carotenoids, neurosporene and spheroidene, have been successfully added to chromatophores from the carotenoidless mutant of Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides R26. Carotenoids reconstituted in this way into the B-850 light-harvesting pigment-protein complex both sensitive bacteriochlorophyll fluorescence and protect the complex from the photodynamic reaction.
两种类胡萝卜素,即八氢番茄红素和球形烯,已成功添加到球形红假单胞菌R26类胡萝卜素缺陷型突变体的色素小体中。以这种方式重建到B - 850捕光色素 - 蛋白复合物中的类胡萝卜素既能使细菌叶绿素荧光敏感,又能保护该复合物免受光动力反应的影响。
