Figure 3

Visible and near-infrared absorption spectra of membranes of ORS278 and 278ΔpufLM strains. Line A corresponds to the spectrum of membranes of strain ORS278 isolated from stem nodules and line B corresponds to that of bacteria grown ex planta. Because of the high scattering properties of the bacteroid preparation, the optical density at 1000 nm has been arbitrary decreased from 1 to 0.1. Line C corresponds to the absorption of membranes isolated from strain 278ΔpufLM. The arrow indicates a small contamination by chloroplasts in the bacteroid preparation. Absorption of the RC, light-harvesting complexes (LH), and carotenoids (car) is also indicated.
