Construction and phenotypic analysis of Rvi. gelatinosus mutant expressing bciE and acsF from Rba. sphaeroides. (A) Diagram depicting integration of bciE and acsF from Rba. sphaeroides in place of the native acsF in Rvi. gelatinosus (Upper), and confirmation by colony PCR (Lower). (B) HPLC analysis of pigments extracted from Rvi. gelatinosus strains, extracted from the same number of cells of each strain except for the ∆bchE strain, which had a much greater BChl a content compared with the other strains. (Inset) Retention times and Soret/Qy maxima of peaks were used to identify BChl a.klj.
